PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS
A. Secured Party, as administrative agent for Lenders, Lenders and
Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Credit Partners L.P., as syndication agent and arranging agent,
have entered into a Credit Agreement dated as of May 21, 1997 (said Credit
Agreement, as it may hereafter be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified
from time to time, being the "CREDIT AGREEMENT", the terms defined therein and
not otherwise defined herein being used herein as therein defined) with Grantor
pursuant to which Lenders have made certain commitments, subject to the terms
and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, to extend certain credit
facilities to Grantor.
B. Grantor may enter into one or more Interest Rate Agreements
(collectively, the "LENDER INTEREST RATE AGREEMENTS") with one or more Lenders
and/or its Affiliates (in such capacity, collectively, "INTEREST RATE
EXCHANGERS"), and it is desired that the obligations of Grantor under the
Lender Interest Rate Agreements, including without limitation the obligation of
Grantor to make payments thereunder in the event of early termination thereof,
together with all obligations of Grantor under the Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, be secured hereunder.
C. Grantor has and may in the future have rights, title and
interests in and to various Patents and owns and uses in its business and will
in the future, adopt and so use various published and unpublished works of
authorship including, without limitation, computer programs, computer data bases
and other computer software (collectively, the "COPYRIGHTS")and other related
Collateral (as such terms are hereinafter defined).
D. Secured Party, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of
Lenders, desires to become a secured creditor with respect to and, under the
circumstances described herein, an assignee of all of the existing and future
Patents, Copyrights, all copyright registrations issued to Grantor and

hereafter be issued to Grantor thereon or applied for with the United States
Copyright Office and throughout the world (the "REGISTRATIONS"), all common
law and other rights in and to the Copyrights throughout the world, including
all copyright licenses (but with respect to such copyright licenses, only to the

all proceeds of the Copyrights, the Registrations and the Copyright Rights, and
1
Grantor agrees to create a secured and protected interest in the Copyrights, the
Registrations, the Copyright Rights and all the proceeds thereof as provided
herein.
E. Grantor is willing to grant to Secured Party a security interest
in all such Collateral for the purpose of securing the complete and timely
satisfaction of all of the Secured Obligations (as hereinafter defined) and,
effective upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, to appoint Secured Party as Grantor's attorney-in-law and attorney-in-
fact to execute documents and take actions to assign Grantor's right, title and
interest in all such Collateral to Secured Party.
F. It is a condition precedent to the initial extensions of credit
by Lenders under the Credit Agreement that Grantor shall have granted the
security interests and undertaken the obligations contemplated by this
Agreement.

other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, as requested by
Secured Party, in order to perfect and preserve the security interests granted

amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Collateral without the
signature of Grantor. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Grantor agrees

(c) Grantor hereby authorizes Secured Party to modify this Agreement
without obtaining Grantor's approval of or signature to such modification by
amending Schedule A or Schedule C, as the case may be, annexed hereto to include
---------- ----------
reference to any right, title or interest in (x) any existing Patent, Copyright,
Registration or Copyright Rights or (y) any Patent, Copyright, Registration or
Copyright Rights acquired or developed by Grantor after the execution hereof or
to delete any reference to any right, title or interest in any Patent,
Copyright, Registration or Copyright Rights in which Grantor no longer has or
claims any right, title or interest; provided Secured Party provides Grantor
--------
with five business days prior notice in writing of such modification during
which period Grantor shall inform Secured Party of any errors or
inconsistencies.
(d) Grantor will furnish to Secured Party from time to time statements
and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other
reports in connection with the Collateral as Secured Party may reasonably
request, all in reasonable detail.

places where this Agreement is recorded an appropriate Patent and Copyright
Collateral Security Agreement, substantially in the form hereof, with
appropriate insertions, or an amendment to this Agreement, in form and substance
satisfactory to Secured Party, pursuant to which Grantor shall grant a security
interest to the extent of its interest in such Patent or Registration as
provided herein to
7
Secured Party unless so doing would, in the reasonable judgment of Grantor,
after due inquiry, result in the grant of a patent in the name of Secured Party,
in which event Grantor shall give written notice to Secured Party as soon as
reasonably practicable and the filing shall instead be undertaken as soon as
practicable but in any case promptly following the grant of the Patent or
Registration.

LITIGATION AND DISPOSAL.
-----------------------
(a) Grantor shall have the duty diligently, through counsel reasonably

therewith shall be borne solely by Grantor. Grantor shall not abandon any right
to file a patent application or any pending patent or registration application
or any Patent or Copyright without the prior written consent of Secured Party.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this subsection 9(a), Grantor need not
make federal application with respect to or take other action to preserve or
maintain, and may abandon, sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise), any
right to file a patent or registration application, any pending patent or
registration applications or any Patents or Copyrights which are not,
individually or in the aggregate, material to the business or operations of
Grantor or any Subsidiary of Grantor which licenses or uses such Patents or
Copyrights or to the extent consistent with past practices and good business
judgment.
(b) Except as provided in Section 9(d), Grantor shall have the right
to commence and prosecute in its own name, as real party in interest, for its
own benefit and at its own expense, such suits, proceedings or other actions for
infringement, unfair competition, or other damage or reexamination or reissue

and necessary cooperation in connection with any such suit, proceeding or action
including, without limitation, joining as a necessary party.
(c) Grantor shall promptly, following its becoming aware thereof,
notify Secured Party of the institution of, or of any adverse determination in,
any proceeding (whether in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or in
the United States Copyright Office or any federal, state or local court)
described in Section 9(a) or 9(b) or regarding Grantor's interests in any
Collateral. Grantor shall provide to Secured Party any information with respect
thereto reasonably requested by Secured Party.
10
(d) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon
the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Secured Party
shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring suit, in the name of
Grantor, Secured Party or otherwise, to enforce any Patent, Registration,
Copyright or Copyright Rights and any license thereunder, in which event Grantor
shall, at the request of Secured Party, do any and all lawful acts and execute
any and all documents required by Secured Party in aid of such enforcement and
Grantor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify Secured Party as
provided in Section 17 in connection with the exercise of its rights under this
Section 8. To the extent that Secured Party shall elect not to bring suit to
enforce any Patent, Registration, Copyright or Copyright Rights or any license
thereunder as provided in this Section 9(d), Grantor agrees to use all
reasonable measures, whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to
prevent the infringement by others of any of the Patents, Registrations,
Copyrights or Copyright Rights which are, individually or in the aggregate,
material to the business or operations of Grantor or any Subsidiary of Grantor
which licenses or uses such Patents, Registrations, Copyrights or Copyright
Rights, and for that purpose agrees to diligently maintain any action, suit or
proceeding against any Person so infringing necessary to prevent such
infringement.
SECTION 10. NON-DISTURBANCE AGREEMENTS, ETC. If and to the extent
--------------------------------
that Grantor is permitted to license the Collateral, Secured Party shall enter
into a non-disturbance agreement or other similar arrangement, at Grantor's
request and expense, with Grantor and any licensee of any Collateral permitted
hereunder in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party pursuant to which
(a) Secured Party shall agree not to disturb or interfere with such licensee's
rights under its license agreement with Grantor so long as such licensee is not
in default thereunder and (b) such licensee shall acknowledge and agree that the
Collateral licensed to it is subject to the security interest created in favor
of Secured Party and the other terms of this Agreement.
SECTION 11. REASSIGNMENT OF COLLATERAL. If (a) an Event of Default
--------------------------
shall have occurred and, by reason of cure, waiver, modification, amendment or
otherwise, no longer be continuing, (b) no other Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, (c) an assignment to Secured Party of any rights,
title and interests in and to the Collateral shall have been previously made and
shall have become absolute and effective pursuant to Section 12(f) or Section
16(b), and (d) the Secured Obligations shall not have become immediately due and
payable, upon the written request of Grantor and the written consent of Secured
Party, Secured Party shall promptly execute and deliver to Grantor such
assignments as may be necessary to reassign to Grantor any such rights, title
and interests as may have been assigned to Secured Party as aforesaid, subject
to any disposition thereof that may have been made by Secured Party pursuant
hereto; provided that, after giving effect to such reassignment, Secured Party's
--------
security interest granted pursuant to Section 1, as well as all other rights and
remedies of Secured Party granted hereunder, shall continue to be in full force
and effect; and provided, further that the rights, title and interests so
-------- -------
reassigned shall be free and clear of all Liens other than Liens (if any)
encumbering such rights, title and interest at the time of their assignment to
Secured Party and Permitted Liens.

SECTION 12. SECURED PARTY APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. Grantor hereby
----------------------------------------
irrevocably appoints Secured Party as Grantor's attorney-in-fact, with full
authority in the place and stead of Grantor and in the name of Grantor, Secured
Party or otherwise, from time to time in Secured Party's discretion to take any
action and to execute any instrument that Secured Party may deem necessary or
advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including without
limitation:
(a) upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, to endorse Grantor's name on all applications, documents, papers and
instruments necessary for Secured Party in the use or maintenance of the
Collateral;
(b) upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an 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 continuation of an 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 continuation of an Event of
Default, to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that
Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the
Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of Secured Party with respect to
any of the Collateral;
(e) to pay or discharge taxes or Liens (other than Liens permitted
under this Agreement or the Credit Agreement) 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 Secured Party in its
sole discretion, any such payments made by Secured Party to become obligations
of Grantor to Secured Party, due and payable immediately without demand;
provided, however, that unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
-------- -------
continuing, Secured Party may not pay or discharge any such tax or Lien which is
being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted and
diligently conducted and for which such reserve or other appropriate provision,
if any, as shall be required in conformity with GAAP shall have been made; and
(f) upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, (i) to execute and deliver any of the assignments or documents
requested by Secured Party pursuant to Section 16(b), (ii) to grant or issue an
exclusive or non-exclusive license to the Collateral or any portion thereof to
any Person, and (iii) otherwise 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 Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof for all
purposes, and to do, at Secured Party's option and Grantor's expense, at any
time or from time to time, all acts and things that Secured Party deems
necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral
12
and Secured Party's security interest therein in order to effect the intent of
this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Grantor might do.
SECTION 13. SECURED PARTY MAY PERFORM. If Grantor fails to perform
-------------------------
any agreement contained herein within the time provided for performance
hereunder, Secured Party may itself perform, or cause performance of, such
agreement, and the expenses of Secured Party incurred in connection therewith
shall be payable by Grantor under Section 16.
SECTION 14. STANDARD OF CARE. The powers conferred on Secured Party
----------------
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, Secured Party shall
have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to
preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any
Collateral. Secured Party 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 Secured Party accords
its own property.
SECTION 15. COPYRIGHT LITIGATION AFTER DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence
----------------------------------
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party shall have the
right but shall in no way be obligated to bring suit in the name of Grantor,
Secured Party or Lenders to enforce any Copyright, Registration, Copyright Right
and any license thereunder, in which event Grantor shall, at the request of
Secured Party, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents
required by Secured Party in aid of such enforcement and Grantor shall promptly,
upon demand, reimburse and indemnify Secured Party and any other Indemnitee as
provided in Section 18 in connection with the exercise of their rights under
this Section 15. To the extent that Grantor shall elect not to bring suit to
enforce any Copyright, Registration, Copyright Rights or any license thereunder,
Grantor agrees to use all reasonable measures, whether by action, suit,
proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement of any of the Copyrights,
Registrations or Copyright Rights by others and for that purpose agrees to
diligently maintain any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so
infringing necessary to prevent such infringement.
SECTION 16. REMEDIES. If any Event of Default shall have occurred
--------
and be continuing:
(a) Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in
addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise
available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under
the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction (the
"CODE") (whether or not the Code applies to the affected Collateral), and also
may (i) require Grantor to, and Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its
expense and upon request of Secured Party forthwith, assemble all or part of the
Collateral as directed by Secured Party and make it available to Secured Party
at a place to be designated by Secured Party 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
13
of the Collateral, store the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for
disposition in any manner to the extent Secured Party deems appropriate, (iv)
take possession of Grantor's premises or place custodians in exclusive control
thereof, remain on such premises and use the same for the purpose of taking any
actions described in the preceding clause (iii) and collecting any Secured
Obligation, (v) exercise any and all rights and remedies of Grantor under or in
connection with the contracts related to the Collateral or otherwise in respect
of the Collateral, including without limitation any and all rights of Grantor to
demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any
provision of, such contracts, and (vi) without notice except as specified below,
sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or
private sale, at any of Secured Party'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 Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable. To
the fullest extent permitted by law, Secured Party or any Lender may be the
purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale and Secured Party, as
agent for and representative of Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or
their respective individual capacities unless Requisite Lenders shall otherwise
agree in writing), 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 public sale, to use and apply any of the Secured
Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral
payable by Secured Party 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
Grantor, and 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. Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be
required by law, at least ten days' notice to 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. Secured Party shall not be obligated to
make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.
Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by
announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without
further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. To
the fullest extent permitted by law, Grantor hereby waives any claims against
Secured Party 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 Secured Party 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, Grantor shall be liable for the
deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by Secured Party to collect
such deficiency.
(b) Upon written demand from Secured Party, Grantor shall execute and
deliver to Secured Party an assignment or assignments of the Patents,
Copyrights, Registrations and Copyright Rights and such other documents as are
necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.
Grantor agrees that such an assignment and/or recording shall be applied to
reduce the Secured Obligations outstanding only to the extent that Secured Party
(or any Lender) receives cash proceeds in respect of the sale of, or other
realization upon, the Collateral.
14
(c) Within five Business Days of written notice from Secured Party,
Grantor shall make available to Secured Party, to the extent within Grantor's
power and authority, such personnel in Grantor's employ on the date of the Event
of Default as Secured Party may reasonably designate, by name, title or job
responsibility, to permit Grantor to continue, directly or indirectly, to
produce, advertise and sell the products and services sold or delivered by
Grantor under or in connection with the Copyrights, Registrations and
Copyrights, such persons to be available to perform their prior functions on
Secured Party's behalf and to be compensated by Secured Party at 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 Event of Default.
SECTION 17. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Except as expressly provided
-----------------------
elsewhere in this Agreement, all proceeds received by Secured Party in respect
of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of
the Collateral may, in the discretion of Secured Party, be held by Secured Party
as Collateral for, and/or then, or at any other time thereafter, applied in full
or in part by Secured Party against, the Secured Obligations in the following
order of priority:
FIRST: To the payment of all costs and expenses of such sale,
collection or other realization, including all expenses, liabilities and
advances made or incurred by Secured Party in connection therewith,
including reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and counsel, and all
amounts for which Secured Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder
and all advances made by Secured Party hereunder for the account of
Grantor, and to the payment of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by
Secured Party in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy
hereunder, all in accordance with Section 16;
SECOND: To the payment of all other Secured Obligations (for the
ratable benefit of the holders thereof) in such order as Secured Party
shall elect; and
THIRD: To the payment to or upon the order of Grantor, or to
whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of
competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining from such
proceeds.
SECTION 18. INDEMNITY AND EXPENSES.
----------------------
(a) Grantor agrees to indemnify Secured Party from and against any and
all claims, losses and liabilities in any way relating to, growing out of or
resulting from this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby
(including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except to the
extent such claims, losses or liabilities result solely from Secured Party's
gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction.
(b) Grantor shall pay to Secured Party upon demand the amount of any
and all costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its
counsel and of any experts and agents, that Secured Party may incur in
connection with (i) the administration of this
15
Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of,
collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (iii) the
exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Secured Party hereunder, or (iv)
the failure by Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
SECTION 19. CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF LOANS. This
-----------------------------------------------
Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and
shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of the
Secured Obligations, the cancellation or termination of the Commitments and the
cancellation or expiration of all outstanding Letters of Credit, (b) be binding
upon Grantor, its successors and assigns, and (c) inure, together with the
rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder, to the benefit of Secured Party
and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing clause (c), but subject to the provisions of subsection 10.1 of
the Credit Agreement, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any Loans held
by it to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested
with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to Lenders herein or otherwise.
Upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than inchoate
indemnification obligations with respect to claims, losses or liabilities which
have not yet arisen), the cancellation or termination of the Commitments and the
cancellation or expiration of all outstanding Letters of Credit, the security
interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall
revert to Grantor. Upon any such termination Secured Party will, at Grantor's
expense, execute and deliver to Grantor such documents as Grantor shall
reasonably request to evidence such termination.
SECTION 20. SECURED PARTY AS ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.
-------------------------------------
(a) Secured Party has been appointed to act as Secured Party hereunder
by Lenders pursuant to the Credit Agreement. Secured Party 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 and the Credit Agreement;
provided that Secured Party shall exercise, or refrain from exercising, any
--------
remedies provided for in Section 18 in accordance with the instructions of (i)
Requisite Lenders or (ii) after payment in full of all Obligations under the
Loan Documents other than any Lender Interest Rate Agreements, the holders of a
majority in notional amount of all Lender Interest Rate Agreements (or, if a
Lender Interest Rate Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms,
the amount then due and payable (exclusive of expenses and similar payments but
including any early termination payments then due) under such Lender Interest
Rate Agreements).
(b) Secured Party shall at all times be the same Person that is
Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement. Written notice of resignation
by Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 9.6 of the Credit Agreement shall
also constitute notice of resignation as Secured Party under this Agreement;
removal of Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 9.6 of the Credit
Agreement shall also constitute removal as Secured Party under this Agreement;
and appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 9.6
of the Credit
16
Agreement shall also constitute appointment of a successor Secured Party under
this Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent
under subsection 9.6 of the Credit Agreement by a successor Administrative
Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become
vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or
removed Secured Party under this Agreement, and the retiring or removed Secured
Party under this Agreement shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Secured
Party all sums, securities and other items of Collateral held hereunder,
together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in
connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Secured Party
under this Agreement, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Secured
Party such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as
may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such
successor Secured Party of the security interests created hereunder, whereupon
such retiring or removed Secured Party shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring or removed Administrative
Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Secured Party, the provisions of
this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to
be taken by it under this Agreement while it was Secured Party hereunder.
SECTION 21. AMENDMENTS; ETC. No amendment, modification, termination
---------------
or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by
Grantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in
writing and signed by Secured Party and, in the case of any such amendment or
modification, by Grantor. Any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in
the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.
SECTION 22. NOTICES. Any notice or other communication herein
-------
required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be personally
served, telexed or sent by telefacsimile or United States mail or courier
service and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by
courier service, upon receipt of telefacsimile or telex, or three Business Days
after depositing it in the United States mail with postage prepaid and properly
addressed. For the purposes hereof, the address of each party hereto shall be
as set forth under such party's name on the signature pages hereof or, as to
either party, such other address as shall be designated by such party in a
written notice delivered to the other party hereto.
SECTION 23. FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER; REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.
-----------------------------------------------------
No failure or delay on the part of Secured Party in the exercise of any power,
right or privilege hereunder 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 any
other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege.
All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not
exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
SECTION 24. SEVERABILITY. In case any provision in or obligation
------------
under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, the validity, legality and
17
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.
SECTION 25. HEADINGS. Section and subsection headings in this
--------
Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not
constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose or be given any
substantive effect.
SECTION 26. GOVERNING LAW; TERMS. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND
--------------------
OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE
CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK), WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES,
EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE CODE PROVIDES THAT THE VALIDITY OR PERFECTION OF
THE SECURITY INTEREST HEREUNDER, OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT OF ANY
PARTICULAR COLLATERAL ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE
STATE OF NEW YORK. Unless otherwise defined herein or in the Credit Agreement,
terms used in Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code in the State of
New York are used herein as therein defined.
SECTION 27. COUNTERPARTS. 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.
