24 |

(x) It shall hereafter use its 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 might in any way materially impair or prevent the creation of a security interest in or Lien on, or the assignment of, such Grantor’s rights and interests in any property included within the definitions of any Intellectual Property acquired under such contracts.
(xi) It shall take all steps it determines in its commercially reasonable judgment that are reasonably necessary to protect the secrecy of all Trade Secrets, including entering into confidentiality agreements with employees and labeling and restricting access to secret information and documents.
25 |

(xiii) It shall continue to use its commercially reasonable efforts to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor in respect of the Intellectual Property or any portion thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall have the right to notify, or require any Grantor to notify, any obligors with respect to any such amounts of the existence of the security interest and Lien created hereby.

SECTION 5 FURTHER ASSURANCES; ADDITIONAL GRANTORS; BRING DOWN OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
5.01 Further Assurances.
(a) Each Grantor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of such Grantor, it shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or reasonably desirable, or that Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to create and/or maintain the validity, perfection or priority of and protect any security interest or Lien granted hereby or to enable Administrative Agent 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, and execute and deliver such other agreements, instruments, endorsements, powers of attorney or notices, as may be necessary or reasonably desirable, or as Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and preserve the security interests and Liens 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 the Intellectual Property with any intellectual property registry in which said Intellectual Property is registered or in which an application for registration is pending including 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; and
26 |
(iii) at Administrative Agent’s request, appear in and defend any action or proceeding that may affect such Grantor’s title to or Administrative Agent’s security interest in and Lien on all or any part of the Collateral.
(b) Each Grantor hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to file a Record or Records, including financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as Administrative Agent may determine, in its reasonable discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect the security interest and Lien granted to Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent may determine, in its reasonable discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest and Lien in the Collateral granted to Administrative Agent herein, including describing such property as “all assets” or “all personal property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.” Each Grantor shall furnish to Administrative Agent from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as Administrative Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.
(c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to modify this Agreement after obtaining such Grantor’s written approval of or signature to such modification by amending Schedule 4.07 (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.
5.02 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 Counterpart Agreement. Upon delivery of any such Counterpart Agreement to Administrative Agent, 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 Administrative Agent not to cause any Subsidiary of Parent or Borrower 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.
5.03 Bring Down of Representations and Warranties. Each Grantor agrees that as a condition to each Borrowing or Letter of Credit Extension, the representations and warranties of such Grantor set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than (x) as otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or (y) those representations and warranties that are expressly qualified by a Material Adverse Effect or other materiality, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) at the time of any Borrowing or Letter of Credit Extension and after giving effect to the proposed Borrowing or Letter of Credit Extension. The representations and warranties of each Grantor set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been amended to account for any applicable changes to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document (and such Grantor shall be deemed to be in compliance with this Section 5.03) by Borrower’s delivery of the Senior Officer’s certificate to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.01(j) of the Credit Agreement.
27 |
SECTION 6 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT
6.01 Power of Attorney. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent (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, Administrative Agent or otherwise, from time to time in Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that Administrative Agent may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including the following:
(a) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to obtain and adjust insurance required to be maintained by such Grantor or paid to Administrative Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement;
(b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to ask for, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;
(c) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (b) above;
(d) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that Administrative Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of Administrative Agent with respect to any of the Collateral;
(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 the 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 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 Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, any such payments made by Administrative Agent to become obligations of such Grantor to Administrative Agent, due and payable immediately without demand;
(h) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, 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 Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes; and
(i) to do, at Administrative Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Administrative Agent’s security interest therein and Lien thereon in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
28 |
6.02 No Duty on the Part of Administrative Agent or Secured Parties. The powers conferred on Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Secured Parties in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. Administrative Agent and the 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.
SECTION 7 REMEDIES
7.01 Generally.
(a) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Administrative 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 Administrative Agent on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) to collect, enforce or satisfy any Secured 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 Administrative Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Administrative Agent and make it available to Administrative Agent at a place to be designated by Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent 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 Administrative 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 Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable.
29 |
(b) Administrative Agent or any 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 Administrative Agent, as Administrative 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 sale made in accordance with the UCC, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by Administrative Agent 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. Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent 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 Administrative 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 which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if Administrative Agent 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 Secured Obligations, Grantors shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by Administrative Agent to collect such deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 7.01 will cause irreparable injury to Administrative Agent, that Administrative 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 7.01 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 Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities. Nothing in this Section 7.01 shall in any way alter the rights of Administrative Agent hereunder.
(c) Administrative Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. Administrative 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.
(d) Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.
7.02 Application of Proceeds. Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, all proceeds received by Administrative Agent in respect of any sale, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in full or in part by Administrative Agent against the Secured Obligations as set forth in Section 2.15 of the Credit Agreement.
7.03 Sales on Credit. If Administrative Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by purchaser and received by Administrative Agent and applied to indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Administrative Agent may resell the Collateral and Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale.
7.04 Deposit Accounts. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent in accordance with the Credit Agreement.
30 |
7.05 Investment Related Property. Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities Laws, Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent 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, after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Investment Related Property, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to 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 Administrative Agent all such information as Administrative Agent may reasonably 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 Administrative Agent 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.
7.06 Intellectual Property.
(a) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:
(i) Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring suit or otherwise commence any action or proceeding in the name of any Grantor, Administrative Agent or otherwise, in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, to enforce any Intellectual Property, in which event such Grantor shall, at the request of Administrative Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents required by Administrative Agent in aid of such enforcement and such Grantor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify Administrative Agent as provided in Section 10 in connection with the exercise of its rights under this Section 7.06, and, to the extent that Administrative Agent shall elect not to bring suit to enforce any Intellectual Property as provided in this Section 7.06, each Grantor agrees to use all reasonable measures, whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement 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 as shall be necessary to prevent such infringement or violation;
(ii) upon written demand from Administrative Agent, each Grantor shall grant, assign, convey or otherwise transfer to Administrative Agent or such Administrative Agent’s designee all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property and shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent 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 Secured Obligations outstanding only to the extent that Administrative Agent (or any Secured Party) receives cash proceeds in respect of the sale of, or other realization upon, the Intellectual Property;
(iv) Administrative Agent 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 the Intellectual Property, of the existence of the security interest and Lien created herein, to direct such obligors to make payment of all such amounts directly to Administrative Agent, 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;
(v) 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 Administrative Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered to Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and applied as provided by Section 7.07; and
(vi) without the consent of Administrative Agent, no Grantor shall 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) an Event of Default shall have occurred and, by reason of cure, waiver, modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be continuing, (ii) no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) an assignment or other transfer to Administrative Agent of any rights, title and interests in and to the Intellectual Property shall have been previously made and shall have become absolute and effective, and (iv) the Secured Obligations shall not have become immediately due and payable, upon the written request of any Grantor, Administrative Agent 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 or reasonably advisable to reassign to such Grantor any such rights, title and interests as may have been assigned to Administrative Agent as aforesaid, subject to any disposition thereof that may have been made by Administrative Agent; provided that after giving effect to such reassignment, Administrative Agent’s security interest and Lien granted pursuant hereto, as well as all other rights and remedies of Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties.
(c) Solely for the purpose of enabling Administrative Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 7 and at such time as Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to Administrative Agent, to the extent it has the right to do so, an irrevocable, nonexclusive 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 said Trademarks, to use, operate under, license, or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located.
32 |
7.07 Cash Proceeds. Unless otherwise provided pursuant to the Credit Agreement or Section 4.04(a)(i)(2), all proceeds of any Collateral received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other non-cash items (collectively, “Cash Proceeds”) shall be held by such Grantor in trust for Administrative Agent and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly endorsed by such Grantor to Administrative Agent, if required) (including by deposit into a Controlled Account or any other Deposit Account permitted not to be a Controlled Account pursuant to the terms hereof).

SECTION 11 MISCELLANEOUS
(a) Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement.
(b) No failure or delay on the part of Administrative Agent in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan 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. The rights, powers and remedies given to Administrative Agent hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of Law or in any of the other Loan Documents. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or under any other Loan Document 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.
(c) 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 Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.
(d) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Administrative Agent and each Grantor and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) no Grantor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and (ii) Administrative Agent may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except in connection with the resignation or removal of Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement.

(e) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between Grantors and Administrative Agent and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, the Loan Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties.
(f) There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.
(g) If any conflict or inconsistency exists between the Pledge Agreement and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern.
(h) This Agreement may be executed in any number of 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. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of Administrative Agent and each Grantor and receipt by Administrative Agent and each Grantor of written or telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof.
