(g)            the Secured Party shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to bring suit in its own name to enforce the Intellectual Property and Intellectual Property Licenses and, if the Secured Party shall commence any such suit, the appropriate Grantor shall, at the request of the Secured Party, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all proper documents reasonably required by the Secured Party in aid of such enforcement.

To the extent permitted by law, each Grantor hereby ratifies all that such attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated.

11.          Secured Party May Perform. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Secured Party may, but shall not be obligated to, itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable expenses of the Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be payable, jointly and severally, by Grantors.

12.          Secured Party’s Duties. The powers conferred on the Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Party’s interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Secured Party to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its actual possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Secured Party 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 Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its actual possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Secured Party accords its own property.

13.          Collection of Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral. At any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Secured Party or the Secured Party’s designee may (a) notify Account Debtors of any Grantor that the Accounts, General Intangibles, Chattel Paper or Negotiable Collateral of such Grantor have been assigned to the Secured Party or that the Secured Party has a security interest therein, and (b) collect the Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral of any Grantor directly, and any collection costs and expenses shall constitute part of such Grantor’s Secured Obligations under the applicable Note Documents.

14.          Disposition of Pledged Interests by the Secured Party. None of the Pledged Interests existing as of the date of this Agreement are, and none of the Pledged Interests hereafter acquired on the date of acquisition thereof are expected to be, registered or qualified under the various federal or state securities laws of the United States and disposition thereof after an Event of Default may be restricted to one or more private (instead of public) sales in view of the lack of such registration. Each Grantor understands that in connection with such disposition, the Secured Party may approach only a restricted number of potential purchasers and further understands that a sale under such circumstances may yield a lower price for the Pledged Interests than if the Pledged Interests were registered and qualified pursuant to federal and state securities laws and sold on the open market. Each Grantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims against the Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Pledged Interests or any part thereof may have been sold, assigned or licensed at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Pledged Interests to more than one offeree.

15.          Voting and Other Rights in Respect of Pledged Interests.

(a)            Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) the Secured Party shall have the right, at its option, and in addition to all rights and remedies available to the Secured Party hereunder or under any other agreement, at law, in equity, or otherwise, exercise all voting rights, or any other ownership or consensual rights (including any dividend or distribution rights) in respect of the Pledged Interests owned by such Grantor, but under no circumstances is the Secured Party obligated by the terms of this Agreement to exercise such rights, and (ii) if the Secured Party duly exercises its right to vote any of such Pledged Interests, each Grantor hereby appoints the Secured Party, such Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and irrevocable proxy to vote such Pledged Interests in any manner the Secured Party deems advisable for or against all matters submitted or which may be submitted to a vote of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be. The power-of-attorney and proxy granted hereby is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

(b)            For so long as any Grantor shall have the right to vote the Pledged Interests owned by it, such Grantor covenants and agrees that it will not vote or take any consensual action with respect to such Pledged Interests which would materially adversely affect the rights of the Secured Party or the value of the Pledged Interests.

16.           Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(a)            the Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Note Documents, or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Code or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that, in any such event, the Secured Party without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except a notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code or any other applicable law), may take immediate possession of all or any portion of the Collateral and (i) require Grantors to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its own expense and upon request of the Secured Party forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Secured Party and make it available to the Secured Party at one or more locations where such Grantor regularly maintains Collateral, and (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, and upon such other terms as the Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) calendar days’ notice to the applicable Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification and specifically such notice shall constitute a reasonable “authenticated notification of disposition” within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the Code. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that (A) the internet shall constitute a “place” for purposes of Section 9-610(b) of the Code, and (B) to the extent notification of sale shall be required by law, notification by mail of the URL where a sale will occur and the time when a sale will commence at least ten days prior to the sale shall constitute a reasonable notification for purposes of Section 9- 611(b) of the Code. Each Grantor agrees that any sale of Collateral to a licensor pursuant to the terms of a license agreement between such licensor and a Grantor is sufficient to constitute a commercially reasonable disposition (including as to method, terms, manner, and time) within the meaning of Section 9-610 of the Code.

(b)            The Secured Party is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without liability for royalties or any other charge, each Grantor’s Intellectual Property, including but not limited to, any labels, Patents, Trademarks, trade names, URLs, domain names, industrial designs, Copyrights, and advertising matter, whether owned by any Grantor or with respect to which any Grantor has rights under license, sublicense, or other agreements (including any Intellectual Property License), as it pertains to the Collateral, in preparing for sale, advertising for sale and selling any Collateral, and each Grantor’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Party.

(d)            Any cash held by the Secured Party as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by the Secured Party in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied against the Secured Obligations pursuant to the terms of the NPA. In the event the proceeds of Collateral are insufficient to satisfy all of the Secured Obligations in full, each Grantor shall remain jointly and severally liable for any such deficiency.

(e)            Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arise out of a commercial transaction, and agrees that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing the Secured Party shall have the right to an immediate writ of possession without notice of a hearing. The Secured Party shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver for the properties and assets of each Grantor, and each Grantor hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection such Grantor may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by the Secured Party.

17.          Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power, and remedy of the Secured Party as provided for in this Agreement or in the other Note Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Agreement or in the other Note Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Secured Party, of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Secured Party of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies.

18.          Application of Proceeds. (a) The proceeds received by the Secured Party in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Secured Obligations pursuant to the exercise by the Secured Party of its remedies shall be applied, together with any other sums then held by the Secured Party pursuant to this Agreement, as follows: (i) first, to amounts, if any, owing to the Secured Party in its capacity as agent for the Holders; (ii) second, ratably to amounts owing to holders of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of the NPA; and (iii) third, to the applicable Grantor and/or other persons entitled thereto. (b) If, despite the provisions of this Agreement, any Secured Party shall receive any payment or other recovery in excess of its portion of payments on account of the Secured Obligations to which it is then entitled in accordance with this Agreement, such Secured Party shall hold such payment or other recovery for distribution in accordance with this Section 15.

19.          Impairment. None of the Grantors will be permitted to take any action, or knowingly or negligently omit to take any action, which action or omission might or would have the result of materially impairing the security interest with respect to the Collateral.

20.          Marshaling. The Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Secured Party’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

21.           Indemnity and Expenses.

(a)            Each Grantor agrees to indemnify the Secured Party from and against all claims, lawsuits and liabilities (including attorneys’ fees) arising out of or resulting from this Agreement (including the enforcement of this Agreement) or any other Note Documents to which such Grantor is a party in accordance with and to the extent set forth in the NPA. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the NPA, the resignation or removal of the Secured Party and the repayment of the Secured Obligations.

(b)            Grantors, jointly and severally, shall, upon written demand therefore and with reasonable detailed documentation thereof, pay to the Secured Party all the expenses which the Secured Party may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or, upon an Event of Default, the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral in accordance with this Agreement and the other Note Documents, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Secured Party hereunder, or (iv) the failure by any Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

22.           Merger, Amendments; Etc. THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS, REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Secured Party, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Secured Party and each Grantor to which such amendment applies. The Secured Party shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the Secured Party and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by the Secured Party of any right or remedy which the Secured Party would otherwise have had on any other occasion. Any waivers, amendments or otherwise occurring under this Agreement or any Collateral Document must occur in compliance with the NPA.

23.          Addresses for Notices. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be given in the form and manner and delivered to the Secured Party at its address specified in the NPA, and to any of the Grantors at their respective addresses specified in the NPA, as applicable, or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party.

24.          Continuing Security Interest; Releases and Assignments.

(a)            This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until all Secured Obligations have been paid in full in accordance with the provisions of the Note Documents, (ii) be binding upon each Grantor, and their respective successors and assigns, and (iii) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Secured Party, and its successors, transferees and assigns.

(b)            The Security Interests securing the Secured Obligations shall be released with respect to any Collateral, (i) in whole or in part, to the extent the release of such Security Interests in such Collateral is provided for, or permitted by, and in accordance with, the terms of the NPA and any other Note Document (other than this Agreement) governing such Secured Obligations, or (ii) as otherwise authorized by the prior written consent of the Secured Party.

(c)            At the time of any release pursuant to clause (b) above, all rights to the Collateral released shall revert to the Grantors or any other Person entitled thereto, and the Secured Party shall return to the Grantors any such released Collateral in its possession. The Secured Party will provide evidence of such release, if reasonably requested by the Grantors, at the expense of the Grantors.

(d)            No transfer or renewal, extension, assignment, or termination of this Agreement or of the NPA or any other Note Document or any other instrument or document executed and delivered by any Grantor to the Secured Party nor the taking of further security, nor the retaking or re-delivery of the Collateral to any Grantor by the Secured Party, nor any other act of the Secured Party shall release any Grantor from any obligation, except a release in accordance with this Section 24.

25.          Governing Law.

(a)            THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(b)            Each Grantor (i) agrees that any suit, action or proceeding against it arising out of or relating to this Agreement may be instituted in any U.S. federal court with applicable subject matter jurisdiction sitting in The City of New York, (ii) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding, and any claim that any suit, action or proceeding in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, and (iii) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any suit, action or proceeding.

(b)            Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof in that jurisdiction or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(c)            Headings and numbers have been set forth herein for convenience only. Unless the contrary is compelled by the context, everything contained in each Section applies equally to this entire Agreement.

(d)            Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed against any the Secured Party or any Grantor, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise.
