(d) Material Agreements. ²Each Grantor shall ensure that all Material Agreements entered into after the date hereof (i) may be collaterally assigned to secure the Obligations, (ii) may, in the event of any exercise of remedies hereunder, be assigned to a purchaser in a foreclosure sale of all or any portion of the Collateral (subject to assumption by such purchaser of all obligations under such Material Agreement), (iii) provides for the delivery to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, of copies of any notices, warnings or their equivalent under such Material Agreement, (iv) permits the disclosure of all information to be provided thereunder to the Administrative Agent and Lenders, to any assignee or prospective assignee described in the foregoing clause (iii), to any assignee or prospective assignee of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and to any company in the business of purchasing or

financing financial assets, and (v) provides that, if such Grantor shall be in default thereunder, (A) the Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to cause such default to be remedied (including without limitation by paying any unpaid amount thereunder) and otherwise to exercise any and all rights of such Grantor thereunder, as may be necessary to prevent or cure any default, and (B) Grantor’s counterparty thereunder waives such default for so long as it is receiving payments thereunder. The provisions described in the preceding need not be included directly in such Material Agreement, but may be agreed by the applicable Material Agreement counterparty in a separate letter agreement.

Section 4.05 Remedies. (a) Rights and Remedies Generally upon Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Secured Parties shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the Uniform Commercial Code is in effect in the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted) and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights and remedies hereunder may be asserted, including the right, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if the Secured Parties were the sole and absolute owner thereof (and each Grantor agrees to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such right). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may exercise, on behalf of all the Secured Parties, such rights and remedies of the Secured Parties described above; and without limiting the foregoing:

(i) the Administrative Agent may, in their name or in the name of any Grantor or otherwise, demand, xxx for, collect or receive any money or other property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral, but shall be under no obligation to do so;

(ii) the Administrative Agent may make any reasonable compromise or settlement deemed desirable with respect to any of the Collateral and may extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in installments, or otherwise modify the terms of, any of the Collateral;

(iii) the Administrative Agent may require the Grantors to notify (and each Grantor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to so notify) each account debtor in respect of any Account, Chattel Paper or General Intangible, and each obligor on any Instrument, constituting part of the Collateral that such Collateral has been assigned to the Secured Parties hereunder, and to instruct that any payments due or to become due in respect of such Collateral shall be made directly to the Administrative Agent or as it may direct (and if any such payments, or any other Proceeds of Collateral, are received by any Grantor they shall be held in trust by such Grantor for the benefit of the Secured Parties and as promptly as possible remitted or delivered to the Administrative Agent for application as provided herein);

(iv) the Administrative Agent may require the Grantors to assemble the Collateral at such place or places, convenient to the Secured Parties and the Grantors, as the Administrative Agent may direct;

(v) the Administrative Agent may require the Grantors to cause the Pledged Shares to be transferred of record into the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee (and the Administrative Agent agrees that if any of such Pledged Shares is transferred into its name or the name of its nominee, the Administrative Agent will thereafter promptly give to the respective Grantor copies of any notices and communications received by it with respect to such Pledged Shares); and

(vi) the Administrative Agent may sell, lease, assign or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, at such place or places as the Administrative Agent deems best, and for cash or for credit or for future delivery (without thereby assuming any credit risk), at public or private sale, without demand of performance or notice of intention to effect any such disposition or of the time or place thereof (except such notice as is required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent or anyone else may be the purchaser, lessee, assignee or recipient of any or all of the Collateral so disposed of at any public sale (or, to the extent permitted by law, at any private sale) and thereafter hold the same absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any right or equity of redemption (statutory or otherwise), of the Grantors, any such demand, notice and right or equity being hereby expressly waived and released. In the event of any sale, assignment, or other disposition of any of the Collateral consisting of Trademarks, the goodwill connected with and symbolized by the Trademarks subject to such disposition shall be included. The Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the sale may be so adjourned.

(vii) The Proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this Section 4.05, including by virtue of the exercise of any license granted to the Administrative Agent in Section 4.04(b), shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.09.

(b) Certain Securities Act Limitations. The Grantors recognize that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws, the Administrative Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Grantors acknowledge that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Administrative Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agree that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for public sale.

(c) Notice. The Grantors agree that to the extent the Administrative Agent is required by applicable law to give reasonable prior notice of any sale or other disposition of any Collateral, ten business days’ notice shall be deemed to constitute reasonable prior notice.

Section 4.06 Deficiency. If the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Collateral pursuant to Section 4.05 are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such

realization and the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made), the Grantors shall remain liable for any deficiency.

Section 4.07 Locations; Names, Etc. No Grantor shall (i) change its location (as defined in Section 9-307 of the UCC), (ii) change its name from the name shown as its current legal name on Schedule 1, or (iii) agree to or authorize any modification of the terms of any item of Collateral that would result in a change thereof from one Uniform Commercial Code category to another such category (such as from a General Intangible to Investment Property), if the effect thereof would be to result in a loss of perfection of, or diminution of priority for, the security interests created hereunder in such item of Collateral, or the loss of control (within the meaning of Section 9-104, 9-105, 9-106 or 9-107 of the UCC) over such item of Collateral, unless in each case 30 days’ prior written notice has been provided to the Administrative Agent and such change is not otherwise restricted by the terms of any Loan Document.

Section 4.08 Private Sale. The Secured Parties shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to Section 4.05 conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties or any of them arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties or any of them accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree.

Section 4.09 Application of Proceeds. Except as otherwise herein expressly provided and except as provided below in this Section 4.09, the Proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the Collateral pursuant hereto, and any other cash at the time held by the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties under this Article IV, shall be applied by the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties (as the case may be):

First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such collection, sale or other realization, including reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses of the Secured Parties and the fees and expenses of their agents and counsel, and all expenses incurred and advances made by the Secured Parties in connection therewith;

Next, to the indefeasible payment in full of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made) in such order as the Secured Parties in their sole discretion shall determine; and

Finally, to the payment to respective Grantor, or its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining.

Section 4.10 Attorney in Fact. Without limiting any rights or powers granted by this Agreement to the Secured Parties, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent (and any of its officers, employees or agents) hereby is appointed the attorney in fact of each Grantor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Article IV and taking any action and executing any instruments that the Administrative Agent

may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney in fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as the Administrative Agent shall be entitled under this Article IV to make collections in respect of the Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of any Grantor representing any dividend, payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may not endorse or assign any checks or accounts in the name of such Grantor from Medicare or Medicaid or any other Federal government obligor, absent a court order specifically authorizing such endorsement or assignment.

Section 4.11 Perfection and Recordation. Each Grantor authorizes the Secured Parties to file Uniform Commercial Code financing statements describing the Collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property and fixtures” of such Grantor (provided that no such description shall be deemed to modify the description of Collateral set forth in Article III).

Section 4.12 Termination. When all Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made) shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, this Agreement automatically shall terminate, and the Secured Parties shall, upon request of Grantors, cause to be assigned, transferred and delivered, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, any remaining Collateral and money received in respect thereof, to or on the order of the respective Grantor and to be released and canceled all licenses and rights referred to in Section 4.04(b), in each case, at Grantors’ sole expense. The Secured Parties shall also, at the expense of such Grantor, execute and deliver to such Grantor upon such termination such Uniform Commercial Code termination statements and such other documentation as shall be reasonably requested by the respective Grantor to effect the termination and release of the liens on the Collateral as required by this Section 4.12, in each case, at Grantors’ sole expense.

Section 4.13 Releases of Portions of the Collateral. If Collateral is permitted to be sold, transferred or assigned by a Grantor (other than to another Grantor or under an Out-License) pursuant to or in connection with a transaction permitted hereunder, under the other Loan Documents (such as, but not limited to, permitted dispositions set forth in Section 9.09 of the Loan Agreement) or by written consent from the Administrative Agent and/or the Majority Lenders, the Administrative Agent’s security interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released and terminated (provided that such release shall not release or be deemed to constitute a release of any security interests in the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or assignment), and the Administrative Agent shall, at the request and at the sole cost of the Grantors, deliver such evidences of releases as reasonably requested by the Grantors in connection with such transaction.

Section 4.14 Further Assurances. Each Grantor agrees that, from time to time upon the written request of the Majority Lenders, such Grantor will execute and deliver such further documents and do such other acts and things as the Majority Lenders may request in order fully to effect the purposes of this Agreement.
