Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Trustee shall have the right at any time, to notify, or require any Grantor to notify, any obligors with respect to any such amounts of the existence of the security interest created hereby.
6.8 | Miscellaneous. |
Each Grantor shall, within thirty (30) days of the date hereof with respect to any Material Contract that is a Non-Assignable Contract (other than any Material Contract which constitutes an Account, Chattel Paper or Payment Intangible of such Grantor) in effect on the date

SECTION | 7. ACCESS; RIGHT OF INSPECTION AND FURTHER ASSURANCES; ADDITIONAL GRANTORS. |
7.1 | Access; Right of Inspection. |
The Collateral Trustee shall at all times have full and free access during normal business hours to all the books, correspondence and records of each Grantor, and the Collateral Trustee and its representatives may examine the same, take extracts therefrom and make photocopies thereof, and each Grantor agrees to render to the Collateral Trustee, at such Grantor’s cost and expense, such clerical and other assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard thereto. The Collateral Trustee and its representatives shall at all reasonable times, upon prior notice to Grantor, also have the right to enter any premises of each Grantor and inspect any property of each Grantor where any of the Collateral of such Grantor granted pursuant to this Agreement is located for the purpose of inspecting the same, observing its use or otherwise protecting its interests therein.
7.2 | Further Assurances. |
(a) Each Grantor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of such Grantor, that it shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Collateral Trustee 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 Trustee to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor shall:
(i) file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, record security interests in Intellectual Property and execute and deliver such other agreements, instruments, endorsements, powers of attorney or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Collateral Trustee may reasonably request, in order to effect, reflect, perfect and preserve the security interests granted or purported to be granted hereby;
(ii) take all actions necessary to ensure the recordation of appropriate evidence of the liens and security interest granted hereunder in any Intellectual Property with any intellectual property registry in which said Intellectual Property is registered or issued or in which an application for registration or issuance is pending, including, without limitation, the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, the various Secretaries of State, and the foreign counterparts on any of the foregoing;
25
(iii) at any reasonable time, upon request by the Collateral Trustee, assemble the Collateral and allow inspection of the Collateral by the Collateral Trustee, or Persons designated by the Collateral Trustee;
(iv) at the Collateral Trustee’s request, appear in and defend any action or proceeding that may affect such Grantor’s title to or the Collateral Trustee’s security interest in all or any part of the Collateral; and
(v) furnish the Collateral Trustee with such information regarding the Collateral, including, without limitation, the location thereof, as the Collateral Trustee may reasonably request from time to time.
(b) Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Trustee to file a Record or Records, including, without limitation, financing or continuation statements, Intellectual Property Security Agreements and amendments and supplements to any of the foregoing, in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as the Collateral Trustee may determine, in its sole discretion, as are necessary or advisable to perfect or otherwise protect the security interest granted to the Collateral Trustee herein. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Collateral Trustee may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Collateral Trustee herein, including, without limitation, describing such property as “all assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, developed or created” or words of similar effect. Each Grantor shall furnish to the Collateral Trustee from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Collateral Trustee may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.
(c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Trustee to modify this Agreement after obtaining such Grantor’s approval of or signature to such modification by amending Schedule 5.2 (as such schedule may be amended or supplemented from time to time) to include reference to any right, title or interest in any existing Intellectual Property or any Intellectual Property acquired or developed by any Grantor after the execution hereof or to delete any reference to any right, title or interest in any Intellectual Property in which any Grantor no longer has or claims any right, title or interest.
7.3 | 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 Pledge Supplement. Upon delivery of any such Pledge Supplement to the Collateral Trustee, notice of which is hereby waived by Grantors, each Additional Grantor shall be a Grantor and shall be as fully a party hereto as if 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 Collateral Trustee not to cause any Subsidiary of Company 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 8. COLLATERAL TRUSTEE APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.
8.1 | Power of Attorney. |
Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Trustee (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Grantor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor, the Collateral Trustee or otherwise, from time to time in the Collateral Trustee’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Collateral Trustee may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the following:
(a) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Parity Lien Default, to obtain and adjust insurance required to be maintained by such Grantor or paid to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to the Parity Lien Documents;

(e) to prepare and file any UCC financing statements against such Grantor as debtor;
(f) to prepare, sign, and file for recordation in any intellectual property registry, appropriate evidence of the lien and security interest granted herein in any Intellectual Property in the name of such Grantor as debtor;
(g) to take or cause to be taken all actions necessary to perform or comply or cause performance or compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, access to pay or discharge taxes or Liens (other than Permitted Liens) levied or placed upon or threatened against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to be determined by the Collateral Trustee in its sole discretion, any such payments made by the Collateral Trustee to become obligations of such Grantor to the Collateral Trustee, due and payable immediately without demand; and
(h) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Parity Lien Default, generally to sell, transfer, lease, license, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Trustee were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Collateral Trustee’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that the Collateral Trustee deems reasonably necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Trustee’s security interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
27
8.2 No Duty on the Part of Collateral Trustee or Parity Lien Secured Parties.
(a) The powers conferred on the Collateral Trustee hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Parity Lien Secured Parties in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Trustee or any other Parity Lien Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Trustee and the other Parity Lien 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 any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
8.3 Appointment Pursuant to Collateral Trust Agreement.
The Collateral Trustee has been appointed as collateral trustee pursuant to the Collateral Trust Agreement. The rights, duties, privileges, immunities and indemnities of the Collateral Trustee hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Collateral Trust Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement.
SECTION 9. REMEDIES.
9.1 Generally.
(a) If any Parity Lien Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Trustee 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 the Collateral Trustee on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) to collect, enforce or satisfy any Parity Lien Obligations then owing, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and also may pursue any of the following separately, successively or simultaneously:
(i) require any Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it shall at its expense and promptly upon request of the Collateral Trustee forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Trustee and make it available to the Collateral Trustee at a place to be designated by the Collateral Trustee that is reasonably convenient to both parties;
(ii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process;
(iii) 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 Trustee deems appropriate; and
(iv) without notice except as specified below or under the UCC, sell, assign, lease, license (on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis) or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Trustee’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 Trustee may deem commercially reasonable.
28
(b) The Collateral Trustee or any other Parity Lien Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any public or private (to the extent to the portion of the Collateral being privately sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC and the Collateral Trustee, as collateral trustee for and representative of the Parity Lien 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 sale or made in accordance with the UCC, to use and apply any of the Parity Lien Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Trustee at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale 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 applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days notice to such 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. The Collateral Trustee shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Trustee 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 it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Trustee to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Trustee 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 which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Trustee accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Parity Lien Obligations, Grantors shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Trustee to collect such deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Trustee, that the Collateral Trustee 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 such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Parity Lien Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities. Nothing in this Section shall in any way limit the rights of the Collateral Trustee hereunder.
(c) Each of the Grantors hereto and each of the Parity Lien Secured Parties, by their acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement, agree that the Collateral Trustee shall be entitled, for the purposes of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any sale or foreclosure proceeding in respect of the Collateral, including without limitation, sales occurring pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or included as part of any plan subject to confirmation under Section 1129(b)(2)(A)(iii) of the Bankruptcy Code, to use and apply any of the Parity Lien Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Trustee at such sale or foreclosure proceeding, if applicable.
29
(d) The Collateral Trustee may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Collateral Trustee 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.
(e) The Collateral Trustee shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.
9.2 Application of Proceeds.
All proceeds received by the Collateral Trustee in respect of any sale of, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in full or in part by the Collateral Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Collateral Trust Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement.
9.3 Sales on Credit.
If Collateral Trustee sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by purchaser and received by Collateral Trustee and applied to indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Collateral Trustee may resell the Collateral and Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale.
9.4 Investment Related Property.
Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the Collateral Trustee may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Investment Related Property conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Investment Related Property under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Investment Related Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, each Grantor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Trustee shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Investment Related Property for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If the Collateral Trustee determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Investment Related Property, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer of any Pledged Stock to be sold hereunder, each partnership and each limited liability company from time to time to furnish to the Collateral Trustee all such information as the Collateral Trustee may request in order to determine the number and nature of interest, shares or other instruments included in the Investment Related Property which may be sold by the Collateral Trustee in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.
30
9.5 Grant of Intellectual Property License.
For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Trustee, during the continuance of a Parity Lien Default, to exercise rights and remedies under Section 9 hereof at such time as the Collateral Trustee shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Trustee, to the extent assignable, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of such Trademarks, to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired, developed or created by such Grantor, wherever the same may be located. Such license shall include access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout hereof.
9.6 Intellectual Property.
(a) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Parity Lien Default:
(i) the Collateral Trustee shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring suit or otherwise commence any action or proceeding in the name of any Grantor, the Collateral Trustee or otherwise, in the Collateral Trustee’s sole discretion, to enforce any Intellectual Property rights of such Grantor, in which event such Grantor shall, at the request of the Collateral Trustee, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents required by the Collateral Trustee in aid of such enforcement, and such Grantor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Trustee as provided in Section 12 hereof in connection with the exercise of its rights under this Section 9.6, and, to the extent that the Collateral Trustee shall elect not to bring suit to enforce any Intellectual Property rights as provided in this Section 9.6, each Grantor agrees to use all reasonable measures, whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation of any of such Grantor’s rights in the Intellectual Property by others and for that purpose agrees to diligently maintain any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing, misappropriating, diluting or otherwise violating as shall be necessary to prevent such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation;
(ii) upon written demand from the Collateral Trustee, each Grantor shall grant, assign, convey or otherwise transfer to the Collateral Trustee or such Collateral Trustee’s designee all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to any Intellectual Property and shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Trustee such documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement;
31
(iii) each Grantor agrees that such an assignment and/or recording shall be applied to reduce the Parity Lien Obligations outstanding only to the extent that the Collateral Trustee (or any other Parity Lien Secured Party) receives cash proceeds in respect of the sale of, or other realization upon, any such Intellectual Property;
(iv) within five (5) Business Days after written notice from the Collateral Trustee, each Grantor shall make available to the Collateral Trustee, to the extent within such Grantor’s power and authority, such personnel in such Grantor’s employ on the date of such Parity Lien Default as the Collateral Trustee may reasonably designate, by name, title or job responsibility, to permit such Grantor to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell the products and services sold or delivered by such Grantor under or in connection with any Trademarks or Trademark Licenses, such persons to be available to perform their prior functions on the Collateral Trustee’s behalf and to be compensated by the Collateral Trustee at such Grantor’s expense on a per diem, pro-rata basis consistent with the salary and benefit structure applicable to each as of the date of such Parity Lien Default; and
(v) the Collateral Trustee shall have the right to notify, or require each Grantor to notify, any obligors with respect to amounts due or to become due to such Grantor in respect of any Intellectual Property of such Grantor, of the existence of the security interest created herein, to direct such obligors to make payment of all such amounts directly to the Collateral Trustee, and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such amounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done;
(1) | all amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by Grantor in respect of amounts due to such Grantor in respect of the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Trustee hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered to the Collateral Trustee in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and applied as provided by Section 9.7 hereof; and |
(2) | Grantor shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such amount or release wholly or partly any obligor with respect thereto or allow any credit or discount thereon. |
(b) If (i) a Parity Lien Default shall have occurred and, by reason of cure, waiver, modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be continuing, (ii) no other Parity Lien Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) an assignment or other transfer to the Collateral Trustee of any rights, title and interests in and to any Intellectual Property of such Grantor shall have been previously made and shall have become absolute and effective, and (iv) the Parity Lien Obligations shall not have become immediately due and payable, upon the written request of any Grantor, the Collateral Trustee shall promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor, at such Grantor’s sole cost and expense, such assignments or other transfer as may be necessary to reassign to such Grantor any such rights, title and interests as may have been assigned to the Collateral Trustee as aforesaid, subject to any disposition thereof that may have been made by the Collateral Trustee; provided, after giving effect to such reassignment, the Collateral Trustee’s security interest granted pursuant hereto, as well as all other rights and remedies of the Collateral Trustee granted hereunder, shall continue to be in full force and effect; and provided further, the rights, title and interests so reassigned shall be free and clear of any other Liens granted by or on behalf of the Collateral Trustee and the Parity Lien Secured Parties.
32
9.7 Cash Proceeds; Deposit Accounts.
(a) If any Parity Lien Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in addition to the rights of the Collateral Trustee specified in Section 6.5 with respect to payments of Receivables, all proceeds of any Collateral received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items (collectively, “Cash Proceeds”) shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Trustee, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Trustee in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Trustee, if required) and held by the Collateral Trustee. Any Cash Proceeds received by the Collateral Trustee (whether from a Grantor or otherwise) may, in the sole discretion of the Collateral Trustee, (A) be held by the Collateral Trustee for the ratable benefit of the Parity Lien Secured Parties, as collateral security for the Parity Lien Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and/or (B) then or at any time thereafter may be applied by the Collateral Trustee against the Parity Lien Obligations then due and owing.
(b) If any Parity Lien Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Trustee may apply the balance from any Deposit Account or instruct the bank at which any Deposit Account is maintained to pay the balance of any Deposit Account to or for the benefit of the Collateral Trustee.
SECTION 10. COLLATERAL TRUSTEE.
The Collateral Trustee has been appointed to act as Collateral Trustee pursuant to the Collateral Trust Agreement. The Collateral Trustee shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement, the Collateral Trust Agreement and the other Parity Lien Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Parity Lien Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Parity Lien Secured Party that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of Parity Lien Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Section. The provisions of the Collateral Trust Agreement relating to the Collateral Trustee including, without limitation, the provisions relating to resignation or removal of the Collateral Trustee and the powers and duties and immunities of the Collateral Trustee are incorporated herein by this reference and shall survive any termination of the Collateral Trust Agreement.
SECTION 11. CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF LOANS.
This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of all Parity Lien Obligations, the cancellation or termination of all commitments to fund any Parity Lien Obligations and the cancellation, expiration, posting of backstop letters of credit or cash collateralization of all outstanding letters of credit satisfactory to the issuer(s) of such letters of credit, in each case, constituting Parity Lien Obligations, be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns, and inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Trustee hereunder, to the benefit
33
of the Collateral Trustee and its successors, transferees and assigns. Upon any such termination the Collateral Trustee shall, at the Grantors’ expense, execute and deliver to the Grantors or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as the Grantors shall reasonably request, including financing statement amendments to evidence such termination. Upon any disposition of property permitted by the Parity Lien Documents (including the Collateral Trust Agreement), the Liens granted herein shall be deemed to be automatically released and such property shall automatically revert to the applicable Grantor with no further action on the part of any Person. The Collateral Trustee shall, at the applicable Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee, including financing statement amendments to evidence such release.
SECTION 12. STANDARD OF CARE; COLLATERAL TRUSTEE MAY PERFORM.
The powers conferred on the Collateral Trustee 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 Trustee 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 Trustee 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 Trustee accords its own property. Neither the Collateral Trustee 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 any Grantor or otherwise. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Collateral Trustee may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Trustee incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by each Grantor pursuant to the Collateral Trust Agreement.
SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS.
Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in accordance with Section 7.6 of the Collateral Trust Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of the Collateral Trustee in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Parity Lien Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Parity Lien Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Parity Lien Default if such action is taken or condition exists. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Collateral Trustee and the Grantors and their respective successors and assigns. No Grantor shall, without
34
the prior written consent of the Collateral Trustee given in accordance with the Parity Lien Documents, assign any right, duty or obligation hereunder. This Agreement and the other Parity Lien Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between the Grantors and the Collateral Trustee and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, the Parity Lien Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document.
THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND ALL CLAIMS AND CONTROVERSIES ARISING OUT OF THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT LAW, TORT LAW OR OTHERWISE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY OTHER LAW (OTHER THAN ANY MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF THE UCC RELATING TO THE LAW GOVERNING PERFECTION AND THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION OF THE SECURITY INTEREST).
THE PROVISIONS OF THE COLLATERAL TRUST AGREEMENT UNDER THE HEADINGS “CONSENT TO JURISDICTION” AND “WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL” ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE AND SUCH INCORPORATION SHALL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION OF THE COLLATERAL TRUST AGREEMENT.
SECTION 14. INTERRELATIONSHIP WITH INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, so long as any ABL Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) are outstanding, the requirements for delivery of Collateral to the Collateral Trustee under this Agreement shall be deemed to have been satisfied by delivery of such Collateral constituting ABL Priority Collateral (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) to the ABL Representative (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement).
35
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and the Collateral Trustee have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first written above.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the Pledge and Security Agreement, dated [as of the date hereof], among the Debtor, the other Grantors party thereto and the Collateral Trustee (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”).

Section 4. Subordination of Lien; Waiver of Set-Off. In the event that the Securities Intermediary has or subsequently obtains by agreement, by operation of law or otherwise a security interest in the Securities Account or any security entitlement credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Collateral Trustee.

Section 5. Choice of Law. This Agreement and the Securities Account shall each be governed by the laws of the State of [New York]. Regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, [New York] shall be deemed to be the Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC) and the Securities Account (as well as the securities entitlements related thereto) shall be governed by the laws of the State of [New York].

(ii) It has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement, will not enter into, any agreement with any other person relating to the Securities Account and/or any financial assets credited thereto pursuant to which it has agreed to comply with entitlement orders (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) of such other person; and
(iii) It has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement, will not enter into, any agreement with the Debtor or the Collateral Trustee purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to comply with entitlement orders as set forth in Section 3 hereof.

EXHIBIT C-2
102(a) of the UCC) credited thereto. If any person asserts any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against the Securities Account or in any financial asset carried therein, the Securities Intermediary will promptly notify the Collateral Trustee and the Debtor thereof.

DEPOSIT ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT
This Deposit Account Control Agreement dated as of [ ], 20[__] (this “Agreement”) among Xxxxxxx Networks Incorporated (the “Debtor”), U.S. Bank National Association, as collateral trustee for the Parity Lien Secured Parties (together with its successors and assigns, the “Collateral Trustee”) and [ ], in its capacity as a “bank” as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC (in such capacity, the “Financial Institution”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the Pledge and Security Agreement, dated [as of the date hereof], between the Debtor, the other Grantors party thereto and the Collateral Trustee (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”). All references herein to the “UCC” shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of [New York].
Section 1. Establishment of Deposit Account. The Financial Institution hereby confirms and agrees that:
(a) The Financial Institution has established account number [IDENTIFY ACCOUNT NUMBER] in the name “[IDENTIFY EXACT TITLE OF ACCOUNT]” (such account and any successor account, the “Deposit Account”) and the Financial Institution shall not change the name or account number of the Deposit Account without the prior written consent of the Collateral Trustee and, prior to delivery of a Notice of Sole Control in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, the Debtor; and
(b) The Deposit Account is a “deposit account” within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC.

If the Debtor is otherwise entitled to issue instructions and such instructions conflict with any instructions issued the Collateral Trustee, the Financial Institution shall follow the instructions issued by the Collateral Trustee.
Section 3. Subordination of Lien; Waiver of Set-Off. In the event that the Financial Institution has or subsequently obtains by agreement, by operation of law or otherwise a security interest in the Deposit Account or any funds credited thereto, the Financial Institution hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Collateral Trustee. Money and other items credited to the Deposit Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any person other than the Collateral Trustee (except that the Financial Institution may set off (i) all amounts due to the Financial Institution in respect of customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Deposit Account and (ii) the face amount of any checks which have been credited to such Deposit Account but are subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds).
EXHIBIT D-1

Regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, [New York] shall be deemed to be the Financial Institution’s jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 9-304 of the UCC) and the Deposit Account shall be governed by the laws of the State of [New York].
Section 5. Conflict with Other Agreements.
(a) In the event of any conflict between this Agreement (or any portion thereof) and any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail;
(b) No amendment or modification of this Agreement or waiver of any right hereunder shall be binding on any party hereto unless it is in writing and is signed by all of the parties hereto; and
(c) The Financial Institution hereby confirms and agrees that:
(i) There are no other agreements entered into between the Financial Institution and the Debtor with respect to the Deposit Account [other than ]; and
(ii) It has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement, will not enter into, any agreement with any other person relating the Deposit Account and/or any funds credited thereto pursuant to which it has agreed to comply with instructions originated by such persons as contemplated by Section 9-104 of the UCC.
Section 6. Adverse Claims. The Financial Institution does not know of any liens, claims or encumbrances relating to the Deposit Account. If any person asserts any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against the Deposit Account, the Financial Institution will promptly notify the Collateral Trustee and the Debtor thereof.
Section 7. Maintenance of Deposit Account. In addition to, and not in lieu of, the obligation of the Financial Institution to honor instructions as set forth in Section 2 hereof, the Financial Institution agrees to maintain the Deposit Account as follows:
(a) Notice of Sole Control. If at any time the Collateral Trustee delivers to the Financial Institution a Notice of Sole Control in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, the Financial Institution agrees that after receipt of such notice, it will take all instruction with respect to the Deposit Account solely from the Collateral Trustee.
(b) Statements and Confirmations. The Financial Institution will promptly send copies of all statements, confirmations and other correspondence concerning the Deposit Account simultaneously to each of the Debtor and the Collateral Trustee at the address for each set forth in Section 11 of this Agreement; and

EXHIBIT D-2

(b) This Agreement is the valid and legally binding obligation of the Financial Institution.

The Debtor and the Collateral Trustee hereby agree that (a) the Financial Institution is released from any and all liabilities to the Debtor and the Collateral Trustee arising from the terms of this Agreement and the compliance of the Financial Institution with the terms hereof, except to the extent that such liabilities arise from the Financial Institution’s negligence and (b) the Debtor, its successors and assigns shall at all times indemnify and save harmless the Financial Institution from and against any and all claims, actions and suits of others arising out of the terms of this Agreement or the compliance of the Financial Institution with the terms hereof, except to the extent that such arises from the Financial Institution’s negligence, and from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, charges, counsel fees and other expenses of every nature and character arising by reason of the same, until the termination of this Agreement.
Section 10. Successors; Assignment. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective corporate successors or heirs and personal representatives who obtain such rights solely by operation of law. The Collateral Trustee may assign its rights hereunder only with the express written consent of the Financial Institution and by sending written notice of such assignment to the Debtor.
