any issuer of any Pledged Equity Interest is organized under a jurisdiction
outside of the United States, each Grantor shall take such additional actions,
including, without limitation, causing the issuer to register the pledge on its
books and records or making such filings or recordings, in each case as may be
necessary or advisable, under the laws of such issuer’s jurisdiction to insure
the validity, perfection and priority of the security interest of the Collateral
Agent.
(b) With
respect to any Pledged Partnership Interests and Pledged LLC Interests included

purports to have in each item of Collateral and, as to all Collateral whether
now existing or hereafter acquired, developed or created (including by way of
lease or license), will continue to own or have such rights in each item of the
Collateral (except as otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement), in each case
free and clear of any and all Liens, rights or claims of all other Persons,
including, without limitation, liens arising as a result of such Grantor
becoming bound (as a result of merger or otherwise) as debtor under a security
agreement entered into by another Person other than any Permitted Liens;
and

than any financing statements filed in favor of the Collateral Agent, no
effective financing statement, fixture filing or other instrument similar in
effect under any applicable law covering all or any part of the Collateral is on
file in any filing or recording office except for (x) financing statements for
which duly authorized proper termination statements have been delivered to the
Collateral Agent for filing and (y) financing statements filed in connection
with Permitted Liens. Other than the Collateral Agent and any
automatic control in favor of a Bank, Securities Intermediary or Commodity
Intermediary maintaining a Deposit Account, Securities Account or Commodity
Contract, no Person is in Control of any Collateral.
5.4 Status
of Security Interest.
(a) upon
the filing of financing statements naming each Grantor as “debtor” and the
Collateral Agent as “secured party” and describing the Collateral in the filing
offices set forth opposite such Grantor’s name on Schedule 5.4 hereof (as such
schedule may be amended or supplemented from time to time), the security
interest of the Collateral Agent in all Collateral that can be perfected by the
filing of a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect
in any jurisdiction will constitute a valid, perfected, first priority Lien
subject in the case of priority only, to any Permitted Liens with respect to
Collateral. Each agreement purporting to give the Collateral Agent
Control over any Collateral is effective to establish the Collateral Agent’s
Control of the Collateral subject thereto;
(b) to
the extent perfection or priority of the security interest therein is not
subject to Article 9 of the UCC, upon recordation of the security interests
granted hereunder in Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights and exclusive Copyright
Licenses in the applicable intellectual property registries, including but not
limited to the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States
Copyright Office, the security interests granted to the Collateral Agent
hereunder shall constitute valid, perfected, first priority Liens (subject, in
the case of priority only, to Permitted Liens);
(c) no
authorization, consent, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing
with, any Governmental Authority or regulatory body or any other Person is
required for either (i) the pledge or grant by any Grantor of the Liens
purported to be created in favor of the Collateral Agent hereunder or (ii) the
exercise by Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies in respect of any
Collateral (whether specifically granted or created hereunder or created or
provided for by applicable law), except (A) for the filings contemplated by
clause (a) above and (B) as may be required, in connection with the disposition
of any Investment Related Property, by laws generally affecting the offering and
sale of Securities; and
(d) each
Grantor is in compliance with its obligations under Section 4
hereof.
13
5.5 Goods
& Receivables.
(a) each
Receivable (i) is and will be the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Account Debtor in respect thereof, representing an unsatisfied obligation of
such Account Debtor, (ii) is and will be enforceable in accordance with its
terms, (iii) is not and will not be subject to any credits, rights of
recoupment, setoffs, defenses, taxes, counterclaims (except with respect to
refunds, returns and allowances in the ordinary course of business with respect
to damaged merchandise) and (iv) is and will be in compliance with all
applicable laws, whether federal, state, local or foreign; and
(b) No
material Receivable requires the consent of the Account Debtor in respect
thereof in connection with the security interest hereunder, except any consent
which has been obtained. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 5.5, the Collateral Agent acknowledges that certain of the Receivables
of the Grantors are obligations of agencies or instrumentalities of the United
States of America and certain states thereof (“Government
Receivables”) and that applicable law may prohibit the Collateral Agent
and the other Secured Parties from collecting Government Receivables directly
from the Account Debtors.
5.6 Pledged
Equity Interests, Investment Related Property.
(a) it
is the record and beneficial owner of the Pledged Equity Interests free of all
Liens, rights or claims of other Persons and there are no outstanding warrants,
options or other rights to purchase, or shareholder, voting trust or similar
agreements outstanding with respect to, or property that is convertible into, or
that requires the issuance or sale of, any Pledged Equity
Interests;
(b) no
consent of any Person including any other general or limited partner, any other
member of a limited liability company, any other shareholder or any other trust
beneficiary is necessary or desirable in connection with the creation,
perfection or first priority status of the security interest of the Collateral
Agent in any Pledged Equity Interests or the exercise by the Collateral Agent of
the voting or other rights provided for in this Agreement or the exercise of
remedies in respect thereof except such as have been obtained; and
(c) the
Pledged LLC Interests and Pledged Partnership Interests on which liens are
granted hereunder do not represent interests (1) that by their terms provide
that they are securities governed by the uniform commercial code of an
applicable jurisdiction, (2) that are dealt in or traded on securities exchanges
or markets or (3) in issuers that are registered as investment
companies.
5.7 Intellectual
Property.
(a) it
is the sole and exclusive owner of the entire right, title, and interest in and
to all Intellectual Property listed on Schedule 5.2(II) (as such schedule may be
amended or supplemented from time to time), and owns or has the valid right to
use and, where such Grantor does so, sublicense others to use, all other
Intellectual Property used in or necessary to conduct its business, free and
clear of all Liens, claims and licenses, except for Permitted Liens and the
licenses set forth on Schedule 5.2(II) (as such schedule may be amended or
supplemented from time to time); and
(b) no
Intellectual Property is material to the business operations of the Grantors,
taken as a whole.

therewith as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request and (b) taken all
actions necessary or advisable to maintain the continuous validity, perfection
and the same or better priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in
the Collateral granted or intended to be granted and agreed to hereby, which in
the case of any merger or other change in corporate structure shall include,
without limitation, executing and delivering to the Collateral Agent a completed

to ensure that the Collateral Agent has a valid, perfected, first priority
security interest in such Collateral, subject in the case of priority only, to
any Permitted Liens.
(b) in
the event that it hereafter acquires or has any Commercial Tort Claim in excess
of $1,000,000 individually or $1,000,000 in the aggregate it shall deliver to

Persons at any time claiming any interest therein;
(b) upon
such Grantor or any officer of such Grantor obtaining knowledge thereof, it
shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent in writing of any event that may have
a Material Adverse Effect on the value of the Collateral or any portion thereof,
the ability of any Grantor or the Collateral Agent to dispose of the Collateral
or any portion thereof, or the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent in
relation thereto, including, without limitation, the levy of any legal process
against the Collateral or any portion thereof; and
15
(c) it
shall not sell, transfer or assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or
exclusively license to another Person any Collateral except as otherwise
permitted by the Credit Agreement.
6.4 Status
of Security Interest.
(a) Subject
to the limitations set forth in subsection (b) of this Section 6.4, each Grantor
shall maintain the security interest of the Collateral Agent hereunder in all
Collateral as valid, perfected, first priority Liens (subject, in the case of
priority only, to Permitted Liens).

the foregoing, no Grantor shall be required to take any action to perfect any

is the Consignor), each Grantor shall join with the Collateral Agent in
notifying the third party of the Collateral Agent’s security interest and
obtaining an acknowledgment from the third party that it is holding the
Equipment and Inventory for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and will permit
the Collateral Agent to have access to Equipment or Inventory for purposes of
inspecting such Collateral or, following an Event of Default, to remove same
from such premises if the Collateral Agent so elects; and with respect to any
Goods in excess of $1,000,000 individually or $1,000,000 in the aggregate
subject to a Consignment for which such Grantor is the Consignor, Grantor shall
file appropriate financing statements against the Consignee and take such other
action as may be necessary to ensure that the Grantor has a first priority
perfected security interest in such Goods;
(c) it
shall keep and maintain at its own cost and expense satisfactory and complete
records of the Receivables, including, but not limited to, the originals of all
documentation with respect to all Receivables and records of all payments
received and all credits granted on the Receivables, and all other dealings
therewith;
(d) other
than in the ordinary course of business (i) it shall not amend, modify,
terminate or waive any material provision of any Receivable in any manner which

16
(e) following
the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the

Receivables, other than Government Receivables, to make payment of all amounts
due or to become due to such Grantor thereunder directly to the Collateral
Agent; (ii) notify, or require any Grantor to notify, each Person maintaining a
lockbox or similar arrangement to which Account Debtors under any Receivables
have been directed to make payment to remit all amounts representing collections
on checks and other payment items from time to time sent to or deposited in such
lockbox or other arrangement directly to the Collateral Agent, except for
lockboxes specifically designated for payment of Government Receivables; and
(iii) enforce, at the expense of such Grantor, collection of any such

elected to collect the Receivables in accordance with the preceding sentence,
any payments of Receivables received by such Grantor shall be forthwith (and in
any event within five (5) Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact

6.6 Pledged
Equity Interests, Investment Related Property.
(a) except
as provided in the next sentence, in the event such Grantor receives any
dividends, interest or distributions on any Pledged Equity Interest or other
Investment Related Property, upon the merger, consolidation, liquidation or
dissolution of any issuer of any Pledged Equity Interest or Investment Related
Property, then (a) such dividends, interest or distributions and securities or
other property shall be included in the definition of Collateral without further
action and (b)
such Grantor shall immediately take all reasonable steps, if any, necessary or
advisable to ensure the validity, perfection, priority and, if applicable,
control of the Collateral Agent over such Investment Related Property
(including, without limitation, delivery thereof to the Collateral Agent) and
pending any such action such Grantor shall be deemed to hold such dividends,
interest, distributions, securities or other property in trust for the benefit
of the Collateral Agent and shall segregate such dividends, distributions,
Securities or other property from all other property of such
Grantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent authorizes
each Grantor to retain all ordinary cash dividends and distributions paid in the
normal course of the business of the issuer and consistent with the past
practice of the issuer and all scheduled payments of interest;
17
(b)
Voting .
(i) So
long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, except as
otherwise provided under the covenants and agreements relating to Investment
Related Property in this Agreement or elsewhere herein or in the Credit
Agreement, each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise or refrain from exercising
any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Investment
Related Property or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the
terms of this Agreement or the Credit Agreement; provided, no Grantor shall
exercise or refrain from exercising any such right if the Collateral Agent shall
have notified such Grantor that, in the Collateral Agent’s reasonable judgment,
such action would have a Material Adverse Effect on the value of the Investment
Related Property or any part thereof; and provided further, such Grantor shall
give the Collateral Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice
of the manner in which it intends to exercise, or the reasons for refraining
from exercising, any such right; it being understood, however, that neither the
voting by such Grantor of any Pledged Stock for, or such Grantor’s consent to,
the election of directors (or similar governing body) at a regularly scheduled
annual or other meeting of stockholders or with respect to incidental matters at
any such meeting, nor such Grantor’s consent to or approval of any action
otherwise permitted under this Agreement and the Credit Agreement, shall be
deemed inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the Credit Agreement
within the meaning of this Section 6.6(b)(i)(1) and no notice of any such voting
or consent need be given to the Collateral Agent; and
(ii) Upon
the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and upon two
(2) Business Days prior written notice from the Collateral Agent to such Grantor
of the Collateral Agent’s intention to exercise such rights:
|
(1)
|
all
rights of each Grantor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting
and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to
exercise pursuant hereto shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon
become vested in the Collateral Agent who shall thereupon have the sole
right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights;
and
|
|
(2)
|
in
order to permit the Collateral Agent to exercise the voting and other
consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and
to receive all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled
to receive hereunder: (1) each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver
(or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Collateral Agent all
proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Collateral
Agent may from time to time reasonably request and (2) each Grantor
acknowledges that the Collateral Agent may utilize the power of attorney
set forth in Section 8.1.

(c) except
as expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement, without the prior written
consent of the Collateral Agent, it shall not vote to enable or take any other
action to: (i) amend or terminate any partnership agreement, limited liability
company agreement, certificate of incorporation, by-laws or other organizational
documents in any way that materially changes the rights of such Grantor with
respect to any Investment Related Property or adversely affects the validity,
perfection or priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest, (ii) permit
any issuer of any Pledged Equity Interest to issue any additional stock,
partnership interests, limited liability company interests or other equity
interests of any nature or to issue securities convertible into or granting the

nature of such issuer, (iii) other than as permitted under the Credit Agreement,
permit any issuer of any Pledged Equity Interest to dispose of all or a material
portion of their assets, (iv) waive any default under or breach of any terms of
organizational document relating to the issuer of any Pledged Equity Interest or
the terms of any Pledged Debt, or (v) cause any issuer of any Pledged
Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests which are not securities (for
purposes of the UCC) on the date hereof to elect or otherwise take any action to
cause such Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests to be treated
as securities for purposes of the UCC; provided, however, notwithstanding the
foregoing, if any issuer of any Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC
Interests takes any such action in violation of the foregoing in this clause
(v), such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent in writing of any
such election or action and, in such event, shall take all steps necessary or
advisable to establish the Collateral Agent’s “control”
thereof; and
18
(d) except
as expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement, without the prior written
consent of the Collateral Agent, it shall not permit any issuer of any Pledged
Equity Interest to merge or consolidate unless (i) such issuer creates a
security interest that is perfected by a filed financing statement (that is not
effective solely under section 9-508 of the UCC) in collateral in which such new
debtor has or acquires rights, (ii) all the outstanding capital stock or other
equity interests of the surviving or resulting corporation, limited liability
company, partnership or other entity is, upon such merger or consolidation,
pledged hereunder and no cash, securities or other property is distributed in
respect of the outstanding equity interests of any other constituent Grantor;
provided that if the surviving or resulting Grantors upon any such merger or
consolidation involving an issuer which is a Controlled Foreign Corporation,
then such Grantor shall only be required to pledge equity interests in
accordance with Section 2.2 and (iii) Grantor promptly complies with the
delivery and control requirements of Section 4 hereof.

ACCESS;
RIGHT OF INSPECTION AND FURTHER ASSURANCES; ADDITIONAL
GRANTORS.
|
7.1 Access;
Right of Inspection. The
Collateral Agent shall at all times have full and free access upon reasonable
prior notice and during normal business hours to all the books, correspondence
and records of each Grantor, and the Collateral Agent and its representatives
may examine the same, take extracts therefrom and make photocopies thereof, and
each Grantor agrees to render to the Collateral Agent, at such Grantor’s cost
and expense, such clerical and other assistance as may be reasonably requested
with regard thereto. The Collateral Agent and its representatives
shall at all times also have, upon reasonable prior notice and during normal
business hours, the right to enter any premises of each Grantor and inspect any
property of each Grantor where any of the Collateral of such Grantor granted
pursuant to this Agreement is located for the purpose of inspecting the same,
observing its use or otherwise protecting its interests
therein.
7.2 Further
Assurances.
(a) Each
Grantor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of such Grantor, that it
shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and
take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the
Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to create and/or maintain the
validity, perfection or priority of and protect any security interest granted or
purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Collateral 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, record
security interests in Intellectual Property and execute and deliver such other
agreements, instruments, endorsements, powers of attorney or notices, as may be
necessary or desirable, or as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in
order to effect, reflect, perfect and preserve the security interests granted or
purported to be granted hereby;
19
(ii) take
all actions necessary to ensure the recordation of appropriate evidence of the
liens and security interest granted hereunder in any Intellectual Property with
any intellectual property registry in which said Intellectual Property is
registered or issued or in which an application for registration or issuance is
pending, including, without limitation, the United States Patent and Trademark
Office, the United States Copyright Office, the various Secretaries of State,
and the foreign counterparts on any of the foregoing;
(iii) at
any reasonable time during normal business hours, upon request by the Collateral
Agent, assemble the Collateral and allow inspection of the Collateral by the
Collateral Agent, or persons designated by the Collateral Agent subject to
Section 7.1;
(iv) at
the Collateral Agent’s request, appear in and defend any action or proceeding
that may affect such Grantor’s title to or the Collateral Agent’s security
interest in all or any part of the Collateral; and
(v) furnish
the Collateral Agent with such information regarding the Collateral, including,
without limitation, the location thereof, as the Collateral Agent may reasonably
request from time to time.
(b) Each
Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file a Record or Records,

Intellectual Property Security Agreements and amendments and supplements to any
of the foregoing, in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as the
Collateral Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, are necessary or
advisable to perfect or otherwise protect the security interest granted to the
Collateral 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
the Collateral Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary,
advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the
Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent herein, including, without
limitation, describing such property as “all assets, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, developed or created” or words of similar
effect. Each Grantor shall furnish to the Collateral Agent from time
to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the
Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the
Collateral Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.
(c) Each
Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to modify this Agreement after
obtaining such Grantor’s approval of or signature to such modification by
amending Schedule 5.2 (as such schedule may be amended or supplemented from time
to time) to include reference to any right, title or interest in any existing
Intellectual Property or any Intellectual Property acquired or developed by any
Grantor after the execution hereof or to delete any reference to any right,
title or interest in any Intellectual Property in which any Grantor no longer
has or claims any right, title or interest.
7.3 Additional
Grantors. From
time to time subsequent to the date hereof, additional Persons may become
parties hereto as additional Grantors (each, an “Additional Grantor”), by
executing a Pledge Supplement. Upon delivery of any such Pledge
Supplement to the Collateral 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 Collateral Agent not to cause
any Subsidiary of 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.

COLLATERAL
AGENT APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.
|
8.1 Power
of Attorney. Each
Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral 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, the Collateral Agent or otherwise, from time to time in the Collateral
Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the
Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the

Collateral Agent, due and payable immediately without demand; and
(h) upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default generally to
sell, transfer, lease, license, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or
otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the
Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at
the Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time or from
time to time, all acts and things that the Collateral Agent deems reasonably
necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral
Agent’s security interest therein in order to effect the intent of this
Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
21
8.2 No
Duty on the Part of Collateral Agent or Secured Parties. The
powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the
interests of the Secured Parties in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty
upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such
powers. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be
accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the
exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors,
employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure
to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct.
8.3 Appointment
Pursuant to Credit Agreement. The
Collateral Agent has been appointed as collateral agent pursuant to the Credit
Agreement. The rights, duties, privileges, immunities and indemnities
of the Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Credit
Agreement.
SECTION
9.
|
REMEDIES.
|
9.1 Generally.
(a) If
any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral 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 the Collateral 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 the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of
the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the
Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral 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 the Collateral 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
the Collateral 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 the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable.
22
(b) The
Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all
of the Collateral at any public or private (to the extent the portion of the
Collateral being privately sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a
recognized market or the subject of widely distributed standard price
quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC and the Collateral Agent, as
collateral 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 the
Collateral 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. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any
sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been
given. The Collateral 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 the Collateral 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 the Collateral 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 the Collateral 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 the Collateral Agent to collect such
deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the
covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the
Collateral Agent, that the Collateral 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 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 shall in any way limit the rights of the Collateral Agent
hereunder.
(c) The
Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the
Collateral. The Collateral 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) The
Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the
Collateral.
23
9.2
Application
of Proceeds. Except
as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, all proceeds received by the
Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, any collection from, or other
realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in full or
in part by the Collateral Agent 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 reasonable compensation to the Collateral Agent, the Administrative
Agent and its agents and counsel, and all other expenses, liabilities and
advances made or incurred by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent in
connection therewith, and all amounts for which the Collateral Agent or the
Administrative Agent is entitled to indemnification hereunder (in its capacity
as the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent and not as a Lender) and all
advances made by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent for the
account of the applicable Grantor, and to the payment of all costs and expenses
paid or incurred by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent in
connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under the
Credit Agreement, all in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof; second, to the extent
of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment of all other Secured Obligations
for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and the Lender Counterparties; and third, to the extent
of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment to or upon the order of the
applicable Grantor or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same
or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
9.3
Sales
on Credit. If
Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Grantor will be
credited only with payments actually made by purchaser and received by
Collateral Agent and applied to indebtedness of the purchaser. In the
event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Collateral Agent may resell
the Collateral and Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the
sale.
9.4
Investment
Related Property. Each
Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the Collateral 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 the Collateral 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 the
Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the
Investment Related Property, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall
cause each issuer of any Pledged Stock to be sold hereunder, each partnership
and each limited liability company from time to time to furnish to the
Collateral Agent all such information as the Collateral Agent may request in
order to determine the number and nature of interest, shares or other
instruments included in the Investment Related Property which may be sold by the
Collateral 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.
9.5
Grant
of Intellectual Property License.
For the
purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent, during the continuance of an Event of
Default, to exercise rights and remedies under Section 9 hereof at such time as
the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and
remedies, and for no other purpose, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral
Agent, to the extent assignable, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license
(exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor),
subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and
inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of such
Trademarks, to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual
Property now owned or hereafter acquired, developed or created by such Grantor,
wherever the same may be located. Such license shall include access
to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to
all computer programs used for the compilation or printout
hereof.

9.6
|
Intellectual
Property.
|
(a) Anything
contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in addition to the other
rights and remedies provided herein, upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default:
(i) the
Collateral 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, the
Collateral Agent or otherwise, in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion, to
enforce any Intellectual Property rights of such Grantor, in which event such
Grantor shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent, do any and all lawful
acts and execute any and all documents required by the Collateral Agent in aid
of such enforcement, and such Grantor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and
indemnify the Collateral Agent as provided in Section 12 hereof in connection
with the exercise of its rights under this Section 9.6, and, to the extent that
the Collateral Agent shall elect not to bring suit to enforce any Intellectual
Property rights as provided in this Section 9.6, each Grantor agrees to use all
reasonable measures, whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to
prevent the infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation of any
of such Grantor’s rights in the Intellectual Property by others and for that
purpose agrees to diligently maintain any action, suit or proceeding against any
Person so infringing, misappropriating, diluting or otherwise violating as shall
be necessary to prevent such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other
violation;
(ii) upon
written demand from the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall grant, assign,
convey or otherwise transfer to the Collateral Agent or such Collateral Agent’s
designee all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to any
Intellectual Property and shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such
documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes
of this Agreement;
(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 the
Collateral Agent (or any other Secured Party) receives cash proceeds in respect
of the sale of, or other realization upon, any such Intellectual
Property;
(iv) within
five (5) Business Days after written notice from the Collateral Agent, each
Grantor shall make available to the Collateral Agent, to the extent within such
Grantor’s power and authority, such personnel in such Grantor’s employ on the
date of such Event of Default as the Collateral Agent may reasonably designate,
by name, title or job responsibility, to permit such Grantor to continue,
directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell the products and services
sold or delivered by such Grantor under or in connection with any Trademarks or
Trademark Licenses, such persons to be available to perform their prior
functions on the Collateral Agent’s behalf and to be compensated by the
Collateral Agent at such Grantor’s expense on a per diem, pro-rata basis
consistent with the salary and benefit structure applicable to each as of the
date of such Event of Default; and
25
(v) the
Collateral 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 any Intellectual Property of such Grantor, of the
existence of the security interest created herein, to direct such obligors to
make payment of all such amounts directly to the Collateral 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;
|
(1)
|
all
amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by
Grantor in respect of amounts due to such Grantor in respect of the
Collateral or any portion thereof shall be received in trust for the
benefit of the Collateral Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other
funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered to the
Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary
endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and applied as provided by
Section 9.7 hereof; and
|
|
(2)
|
Grantor
shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such
amount or release wholly or partly any obligor with respect thereto or
allow any credit or discount
thereon.
|
(b) If
(i) 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 the Collateral Agent of any rights, title and interests in and
to any Intellectual Property of such Grantor shall have been previously made and
shall have become absolute and effective, and (iv) the Secured Obligations shall
not have become immediately due and payable, upon the written request of any
Grantor, the Collateral 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 to reassign to such Grantor any such rights, title
and interests as may have been assigned to the Collateral Agent as aforesaid,
subject to any disposition thereof that may have been made by the Collateral
Agent; provided, after giving effect to such reassignment, the Collateral
Agent’s security interest granted pursuant hereto, as well as all other rights
and remedies of the Collateral 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
the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties.
9.7
Cash
Proceeds; Deposit Accounts. (a) If
any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in addition to the
rights of the Collateral Agent specified in Section 6.5 with respect to
payments of Receivables, all proceeds of any Collateral received by any Grantor
consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items (collectively, “Cash Proceeds”) shall be held
by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent, segregated from other funds
of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned
over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly
indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required) and held by the
Collateral Agent in the Collateral Account. Any Cash Proceeds
received by the Collateral Agent (whether from a Grantor or otherwise) may, in
the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, (A) be held by the Collateral Agent
for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for the
Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and/or (B) then or at any
time thereafter may be applied by the Collateral Agent against the Secured
Obligations then due and owing.
26
(b) If
any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral 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 the Collateral Agent.
SECTION
10.

COLLATERAL
AGENT.
|
The
Collateral Agent has been appointed to act as Collateral Agent hereunder by
Lenders and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, the other Secured
Parties. The Collateral Agent 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, the
Collateral Agent shall, after payment in full of all Obligations under the
Credit Agreement, exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies provided
for herein in accordance with the instructions of the holders (the “Majority Holders”) of a
majority of the aggregate “settlement amount” as defined in the Hedge Agreements
(or, with respect to any Hedge Agreement that 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 Hedge Agreement) under all Hedge Agreements. For purposes of the
foregoing sentence, settlement amount for any Hedge Agreement that has not been
terminated shall be the settlement amount as of the last Business Day of the
month preceding any date of determination and shall be calculated by the
appropriate swap counterparties and reported to the Collateral Agent upon
request; provided any Hedge Agreement with a settlement amount that is a
negative number shall be disregarded for purposes of determining the Majority
Holders. In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Section,
each Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it
shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral
hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Secured Party that all rights
and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the
benefit of Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this
Section. The provisions of the Credit Agreement relating to the
Collateral Agent including, without limitation, the provisions relating to
resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent and the powers and duties and
immunities of the Collateral Agent are incorporated herein by this reference and
shall survive any termination of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION
11.
|
CONTINUING
SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF
LOANS.
|
This
Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and
shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of all Secured
Obligations (subject to the Borrower’s right pursuant to Section 9.08(d) of the
Credit Agreement to request termination of the security interest upon payment in
full of all of the Secured Obligations other than the Hedging Obligations), the
cancellation or termination of the Commitments and the cancellation, expiration,
posting of backstop letters of credit or cash collateralization of all
outstanding Letters of Credit satisfactory to the issuer(s) of such Letters of
Credit, be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns, and inure,
together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the
benefit of the Collateral Agent and its successors, transferees and
assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but
subject to the terms 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, the cancellation or termination of the Commitments and the
cancellation, expiration, posting of backstop letters of credit or cash
collateralization of all outstanding Letters of Credit satisfactory to the
issuer(s) of such Letters of Credit, the security interest granted hereby shall
automatically terminate hereunder and of record and all rights to the Collateral
shall revert to the Grantors. Upon any such termination the
Collateral Agent shall, at the Grantors’ expense, execute and deliver to the
Grantors or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as the Grantors
shall reasonably request, including financing statement amendments to evidence
such termination. Upon any disposition of property permitted by the
Credit Agreement, the Liens granted herein shall be deemed to be automatically
released and such property shall automatically revert to the applicable Grantor
with no further action on the part of any Person. The Collateral
Agent shall, at the applicable Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver or
otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as such Grantor shall
reasonably request, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent, including financing statement amendments to evidence such
release.

SECTION
12.
|
STANDARD
OF CARE; COLLATERAL AGENT MAY
PERFORM.
|
The
powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its
interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any
such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the
custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys
actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to
any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights
against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any
Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession
if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the
Collateral Agent accords its own property. Neither the Collateral
Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable
for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral
or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or
otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or
otherwise. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained
herein, the Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such
agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection
therewith shall be payable by each Grantor under Section 10.02 of the Credit
Agreement.
SECTION
13.
|
MISCELLANEOUS.
|
Any
notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in
accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement. No failure or
delay on the part of the Collateral Agent in the exercise of any power, right or
privilege hereunder or under the Credit Agreement shall impair such power, right
or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence
therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or
privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power,
right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this
Agreement and the Credit Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any
rights or remedies otherwise available. In case any provision in or
obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other
jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so
that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such
covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would
otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the
occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or
condition exists. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Grantors and their respective
successors and assigns. No Grantor shall, without the prior written
consent of the Collateral Agent given in accordance with the Credit Agreement,
assign any right, duty or obligation hereunder. This Agreement and
the Credit Agreement embody the entire agreement and understanding between the
Grantors and the Collateral Agent and supersede all prior agreements and
understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and
thereof. Accordingly, the Credit Agreement may not be contradicted by
evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the
parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the
parties. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts
and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts
together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may
be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single
counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same
document.
28
THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND ALL CLAIMS
AND CONTROVERSIES ARISING OUT OF THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF WHETHER SOUNDING IN
CONTRACT LAW, TORT LAW OR OTHERWISE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED
AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT
REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF
ANY OTHER LAW (OTHER THAN ANY MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF THE UCC RELATING TO THE
LAW GOVERNING PERFECTION AND THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION OF THE SECURITY
INTEREST).
THE
PROVISIONS OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT UNDER THE HEADINGS “CONSENT TO JURISDICTION”
AND “WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL” ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE AND SUCH
INCORPORATION SHALL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION OF THE CREDIT
AGREEMENT.
[Remainder

IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, each Grantor and the Collateral Agent have caused this
Agreement to be duly executed and delivered by their respective officers
thereunto duly authorized as of the date first written above.

as collateral agent for the Secured Parties (together with its successors and
assigns, the “Collateral
Agent”) and [___________________], in its capacity as a “securities
intermediary” as defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC (in such capacity, the
“Securities
Intermediary”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein
shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the Pledge and Security Agreement,
dated as of April 6, 2010, among the Debtor, the other Grantors party thereto
and the Collateral Agent (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, the “Security
Agreement”). All references herein to the “UCC” shall mean the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York.
Section 1. Establishment of
Securities Account. The Securities Intermediary hereby
confirms and agrees that:

Securities Intermediary shall not change the name or account number of the
Securities Account without the prior written consent of the Collateral
Agent;
(b) All
securities or other property underlying any financial assets credited to the
Securities Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities
Intermediary, indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank or credited to
another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary
and in no case will any financial asset credited to the Securities Account be
registered in the name of the Debtor, payable to the order of the Debtor or
specially indorsed to the Debtor except to the extent the foregoing have been
specially indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank;
(c) All
property delivered to the Securities Intermediary pursuant to the Security

Section 3. Control of the
Securities Account. If at any time the Securities Intermediary
shall receive any order from the Collateral Agent directing transfer or
redemption of any financial asset relating to the Securities Account, the

Waiver of Set-Off. In the event that the Securities

are no other control agreements entered into between the Securities Intermediary
and the Debtor with respect to the Securities Account;

enter into, any agreement with the Debtor or the Collateral Agent purporting to
limit or condition the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to comply with
entitlement orders as set forth in Section 3 hereof.
Section 7. Adverse
Claims. Except for the claims and interest of the Collateral
Agent and of the Debtor in the Securities Account, the Securities Intermediary

“financial asset” (as defined in Section 8-102(a) of the UCC) credited
thereto. If any person asserts any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim
(including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or
similar process) against the Securities Account or in any financial asset
carried therein, the Securities Intermediary will promptly notify the Collateral
Agent and the Debtor thereof.
