(a) Keep the Collateral properly housed and insured for the full insurable value thereof against loss or damage by fire, theft, explosion, sprinklers, collision (in the case of motor vehicles) and such other risks as are customarily insured against by Persons engaged in businesses similar to that of Borrower, with such companies, in such amounts, with such deductibles, and under policies in such form, as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. Original (or certified) copies of certificates of insurance have been or shall be, within thirty (30) days following the date of this Agreement (or such longer period as the Collateral Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion), delivered to the Collateral Agent, together with evidence of payment of all premiums therefor, and shall contain an endorsement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent, showing loss under such insurance policies payable to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of itself and each of the Lenders. Such endorsement, or an independent instrument furnished to the Collateral Agent, shall provide that the insurance company shall give Collateral Agent at least ten (10) days written notice before any such policy of insurance is canceled for non-payment of premium and that no act, whether willful or negligent, or default of Grantors or any other Person shall affect the right of the Collateral Agent and the other Lenders to recover under such policy of insurance in case of loss or damage.

If Grantors at any time or times hereafter shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required above under Section 5.11 (and provide evidence thereof to the Collateral Agent promptly following receipt of written request therefor from the Collateral Agent) or to pay any premium relating thereto, then the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of itself and each of the Lenders, without waiving or releasing any obligation or default by Grantors hereunder, may (but shall be under no obligation to) obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premiums and take such other actions with respect thereto as the Collateral Agent deems advisable upon notice to Grantors. Such insurance, if obtained by the Collateral Agent, may, but need not, protect Grantors’ interests or pay any claim made by or against Grantors with respect to the Collateral. Such insurance may be more expensive than the cost of insurance Grantors may be able to obtain on its own and may be cancelled only upon Grantors providing evidence that it has obtained the insurance as required above. All sums disbursed by the Collateral Agent in connection with any such actions, shall constitute Secured Obligations payable upon demand.

After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent as their true and lawful attorney in fact for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to assert and collect such claims and to apply such monies in the manner set forth above, which appointment, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable.
6.2 Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable.
(a) The Collateral Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default communicate with obligors under the Receivables to verify with them to the Collateral Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Receivables.
(b) Upon the written request of the Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall notify obligors on the Receivables that the Receivables have been assigned to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of itself and each of the Lenders and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of itself and each of the Lenders.
(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable in respect of each of the Receivables to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral Agent or any Lender of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any Lender be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.
(d) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.
6.3 Investment Property.
(a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given written notice to the relevant Grantor of the Collateral Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 6.3(b), each Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends and distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Equity and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes, to the extent permitted in the Facility Agreement, and to exercise all voting and other rights with respect to the Investment Property; provided, that no vote shall be cast or other right exercised or action taken which would reasonably be expected to materially impair the Collateral or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Facility Agreement, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
15
(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall give notice of the Collateral Agent’s intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, (i) the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of itself and each of the Lenders shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends and distributions, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Investment Property and make application thereof to the Secured Obligations in such order as the Collateral Agent may determine in its discretion, (ii) the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of itself and each of the Lenders shall have the right to cause any or all of the Investment Property to be registered in the name of the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of itself and each of the Lenders or their nominee and (iii) the Collateral Agent or its nominee may exercise (x) all voting and other rights pertaining to such Investment Property at any meeting of holders of the equity interests of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise (or by written consent) and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Investment Property as if they were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or other structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Grantor or the Collateral Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Investment Property, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Investment Property with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but neither the Collateral Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.
(c) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Investment Property pledged by such Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends, distributions or other payments with respect to the Investment Property directly to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of itself and each of the Lenders.
6.4 Proceeds to be Turned Over to the Collateral Agent. In addition to the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders specified in Section 6.1 with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other cash equivalent items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of itself and each of the Lenders, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, upon written request of the Collateral Agent, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of itself and each of the Lenders in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a collateral account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds, while held by the Collateral Agent in any collateral account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of itself and each of the Lenders) established pursuant hereto, shall continue to be held as collateral security for the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 6.5.
16
6.5 Application of Proceeds. The Collateral Agent may apply all or any part of Proceeds from the sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral in payment of the Secured Obligations, as follows:
FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent (in its capacity as such hereunder or under any other Transaction Document) in connection with such collection, sale, foreclosure or realization or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any of the Obligations, including all court costs and the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Transaction Document on behalf of any Grantor and any other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Transaction Document;
SECOND, to the payment in full of all other Obligations (the amounts so applied to be distributed among the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts of the Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution);
THIRD, to the Grantors, their successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.
6.6 Code and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses (other than defense of payment), advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Collateral Agent or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery with assumption of any credit risk. Any Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.6, after deducting all reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of any Lender hereunder, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order as the
17
Collateral Agent may determine in its sole discretion, and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent or any Lender arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 calendar days before such sale or other disposition.
6.7 Registration Rights.
(a) If the Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Equity pursuant to Section 6.6, and if in the opinion of the Collateral Agent it is necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Equity, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant Grantor will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Issuer thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such Issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, necessary or advisable to register the Pledged Equity, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the date of the first public offering of the Pledged Equity, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. Each Grantor agrees to cause such Issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any and all jurisdictions which the Collateral Agent shall designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.
(b) Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Equity, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Equity for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities or other interests for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.
(c) Each Grantor agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Equity pursuant to this Section 6.7 valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, that the Collateral Agent and the Lenders have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 6.7 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 Event of Default has occurred under the Facility Agreement.
18
6.8 Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations in full and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.
SECTION 7 MISCELLANEOUS.
7.1 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 6.6 of the Facility Agreement.
7.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Collateral Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be addressed to such party and effected in the manner provided for in Section 6.1 of the Facility Agreement and each Grantor hereby appoints Borrowers as its agent to receive notices hereunder.
7.3 Indemnification by Grantors.
(a) Each Grantor and each Guarantor shall, at all times, jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Collateral Agent and each other Lender harmless (the “Indemnity”) and each of their respective directors, partners, officers, employees, agents, counsel and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Person”) in connection with any losses, claims (including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees incurred in defending against such claims), damages, liabilities, penalties, or other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses arising out of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, which an Indemnified Person may incur or to which an Indemnified Person may become subject but (each, a “Loss”). The Indemnity shall not apply (i) to the extent that a court or arbitral tribunal of competent jurisdiction issues a final judgment that such Loss resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Person or (ii) to Losses that do not involve an act or omission by such Grantor, Guarantor or any of its Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnified Person against any other Indemnified Person or (iii) in relation to any settlement effected by any Indemnified Person without the Borrower’s consent. The Indemnity is independent of and in addition to any other agreement of Grantors and Guarantors under any Transaction Document to pay any amount to the Collateral Agent or any Lender, and any exclusion of any obligation to pay any amount under this subsection shall not affect the requirement to pay such amount under any other section hereof or under any other agreement. For the avoidance on doubt, this Section 7.3 shall not apply to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.
(b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section 7.3 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person shall, if a Loss in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying person under this Section 7.3, deliver to Grantors and Guarantors a written notice of the commencement thereof, and Borrower shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent Grantors and Guarantors so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to Grantors and Guarantors and the Indemnified Person, as the case may be.
(c) An Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying person, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Indemnified Person, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person and Grantors and Guarantors would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. Grantors and Guarantors shall pay for only one separate legal counsel for the Indemnified Persons. The failure of an Indemnified Person to deliver written notice to the Grantors and Guarantors
19
within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the Grantors and Guarantors of any liability to the Indemnified person under this Section 7.3, except to the extent that Grantors and Guarantors are actually prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

THIS POWER AND PROXY IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND IS IRREVOCABLE UNTIL THE DATE ON WHICH ALL OF THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS HAVE BEEN PAID IN FULL. THIS POWER AND PROXY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF ANY ACTION (INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER OF ANY INVESTMENT PROPERTY ON THE RECORD BOOKS OF THE ISSUER THEREOF) BY ANY PERSON (INCLUDING THE ISSUER OF THE INVESTMENT PROPERTY OR ANY OFFICER OR AGENT THEREOF).
