Debtor has the requisite corporate, partnership, limited liability company or
other power and authority to enter into this Agreement and otherwise to carry
out its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by each
Debtor of this Agreement and the filings contemplated therein have been duly
authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Debtor and no further
action is required by such Debtor. This Agreement has been duly
executed by each Debtor. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid
and binding obligation of each Debtor, enforceable against each Debtor in
accordance with its terms except as such enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and similar laws of general

Interest. There is not on file in any governmental or regulatory
authority, agency or recording office an effective financing statement, security
agreement, license or transfer or any notice of any of the foregoing (other than
those that will be filed in favor of the Secured Parties pursuant to this
Agreement) covering or affecting any of the Collateral. So long as
this Agreement shall be in effect, the Debtors shall not execute and shall not
knowingly permit to be on file in any such office or agency any such financing
statement or other document or instrument (except to the extent filed or
recorded in favor of the Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement).
(d) Except
as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto, no written claim has been received
that any Collateral or Debtor's use of any Collateral violates the rights of any
third party. There has been no adverse decision to any Debtor's claim of
ownership rights in or exclusive rights to use the Collateral in any
jurisdiction or to any Debtor's right to keep and maintain such Collateral in
full force and effect, and there is no proceeding involving said rights pending
or, to the best knowledge of any Debtor, threatened before any court, judicial
body, administrative or regulatory agency, arbitrator or other governmental
authority.
(e) Each
Debtor shall at all times maintain its books of account and records relating to

Secured Parties at least 30 days prior to such relocation (i) written notice of
such relocation and the new location thereof (which must be within the United
States) and (ii) evidence that appropriate financing statements under the UCC
and other necessary documents have been filed and recorded and other steps have
been taken to perfect the Security Interest to create in favor of the Secured
Parties a valid, perfected and continuing perfected first priority lien in the

United States Copyright Office referred to in paragraph (p), and the delivery of
the certificates and other instruments provided in Section 3, no action is

Intellectual Property Security Agreement, no consent of any third parties and no
authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any
governmental authority or regulatory body is required for (i) the execution,

enforcement of the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder.

more financing statements under the UCC, with respect to the Security Interest
with the proper filing and recording agencies in any jurisdiction deemed proper
by them.
(h) The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Debtors does not
(i) violate any of the provisions of any Organizational Documents of any Debtor
or any judgment, decree, order or award of any court, governmental body or
arbitrator or any applicable law, rule or regulation applicable to any Debtor or
(ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or
lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any
rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without
notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other
instrument (evidencing any Debtor's debt or otherwise) or other understanding to
which any Debtor is a party or by which any property or asset of any Debtor is
bound or affected. No consent (including, without limitation, from stockholders
or creditors of any Debtor) is required for any Debtor to enter into and perform
its obligations hereunder.
(i) The
capital stock and other equity interests listed on Schedule H hereto represent
all of the capital stock and other equity interests of the Guarantors, and
represent all capital stock and other equity interests owned, directly or
indirectly, by the Company.
(j) The
ownership and other equity interests in partnerships and limited liability
companies (if any) included in the Collateral (the “Pledged Interests”) by their
express terms do not provide that they are securities governed by Article 8 of
the UCC and are not held in a securities account or by any financial
intermediary.
(k) Each
Debtor shall at all times maintain the liens and Security Interest provided for
hereunder as valid and perfected second priority liens and security interests in

Security Interest hereunder shall be terminated pursuant to Section 14
hereof. Each Debtor hereby agrees to defend the same against the
claims of any and all persons and entities. Each Debtor shall safeguard and
protect all Collateral for the account of the Secured
Parties. At the request of the Secured Parties, each Debtor

satisfactory to the Secured Parties and will pay the cost of filing the same in
all public offices wherever filing is, or is deemed by the Secured Parties to
be, necessary or desirable to effect the rights and obligations provided for
herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Debtor shall pay
all fees, taxes and other amounts necessary to maintain the Collateral and the
Security Interest hereunder, and each Debtor shall obtain and furnish to the
Secured Parties from time to time, upon demand, such releases and/or
subordinations of claims and liens which may be required to maintain the
priority of the Security Interest hereunder.

with respect to the Collateral owned by them against loss or damage of the kinds
and in the amounts customarily insured against by entities of established

otherwise as is prudent for entities engaged in similar businesses but in any
event sufficient to cover the full replacement cost thereof. Each
Debtor shall cause each insurance policy issued in connection herewith to
provide, and the insurer issuing such policy to certify to the Secured Parties
that (a) the Secured Parties will be named as lender loss payee and additional
insured under each such insurance policy; (b) if such insurance be proposed to
be cancelled or materially changed for any reason whatsoever, such insurer will

extend or increase coverage under the policy; and (c) the Secured Parties will
have the right (but no obligation) at its election to remedy any default in the
payment of premiums within thirty (30) days of notice from the insurer of such
default. If no Event of Default (as defined in the Note) exists and

exceed $50,000, loss payments in each instance will be applied by the applicable
Debtor to the repair and/or replacement of property with respect to which the
loss was incurred to the extent reasonably feasible, and any loss payments or
the balance thereof remaining, to the extent not so applied, shall be payable to
the applicable Debtor, provided, however, that payments received by any Debtor
after an Event of Default occurs and is continuing or in excess of $50,000 for

(ii) use its best efforts to obtain resignations of the persons then serving as
officers and directors of the Debtors and their direct and indirect
subsidiaries, if so requested; and (iii) use its best efforts to obtain any
approvals that are required by any governmental or regulatory body in order to
permit the sale of the Pledged Securities to the Transferee or the purchase or
retention of the Pledged Securities by the Secured Parties and allow the
Transferee or the Secured Parties to continue the business of the Debtors and
their direct and indirect subsidiaries.
(mm) Without
limiting the generality of the other obligations of the Debtors hereunder, each
Debtor shall, upon request, promptly (i) cause to be registered at the United
States Copyright Office all of its material copyrights, (ii) cause the security
interest contemplated hereby with respect to all Intellectual Property
registered at the United States Copyright Office or United States Patent and
Trademark Office to be duly recorded at the applicable office, and (iii) give
the Secured Parties notice whenever it acquires (whether absolutely or by
license) or creates any additional material Intellectual Property.
(nn) Each
Debtor will from time to time, at the joint and several expense of the Debtors,
promptly execute and deliver all such further instruments and documents, and
take all such further action as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Secured
Parties may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security
interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Secured
Parties to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder and with
respect to any Collateral or to otherwise carry out the purposes of this
Agreement.
(oo) Schedule

trademark applications, registered copyrights, and domain names owned by any of
the Debtors as of the date hereof. Schedule F lists all material
licenses in favor of any Debtor for the use of any patents, trademarks,

Debtors have been duly recorded at the United States Copyright

12
(pp) Except
as set forth on Schedule G attached hereto, none of the account debtors or other
persons or entities obligated on any of the Collateral is a governmental
authority covered by the Federal Assignment of Claims Act or any similar
federal, state or local statute or rule in respect of such
Collateral.
5. Effect of Pledge on Certain
Rights. If
any of the Collateral subject to this Agreement consists of nonvoting equity or
ownership interests (regardless of class, designation, preference or rights)
that may be converted into voting equity or ownership interests upon the
occurrence of certain events (including, without limitation, upon the transfer
of all or any of the other stock or assets of the issuer), it is agreed that the
pledge of such equity or ownership interests pursuant to this Agreement or the
enforcement of any of the Secured Parties’ rights hereunder shall not be deemed
to be the type of event which would trigger such conversion rights
notwithstanding any provisions in the Organizational Documents or agreements to
which any Debtor is subject or to which any Debtor is party.
6.
Defaults. The following events
shall be “Events of Default”:
(a) The
occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Notes) under the
Notes;
(b) Any
representation or warranty of any Debtor in this Agreement shall prove to have
been incorrect in any material respect when made;
(c) The
failure by any Debtor to observe or perform any of its obligations hereunder for
five (5) days after delivery to such Debtor of notice of such failure by or on
behalf of a Secured Party unless such default is capable of cure but cannot be
cured within such time frame and such Debtor is using best efforts to cure same
in a timely fashion; or
(d) If
any provision of this Agreement shall at any time for any reason be declared to
be null and void, or the validity or enforceability thereof shall be contested
by any Debtor, or a proceeding shall be commenced by any Debtor, or by any
governmental authority having jurisdiction over any Debtor, seeking to establish
the invalidity or unenforceability thereof, or any Debtor shall deny that any
Debtor has any liability or obligation purported to be created under this
Agreement.
7. Duty To Hold In
Trust.
(a) Upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, each Debtor
shall, upon receipt of any revenue, income, dividend, interest or other sums
subject to the Security Interest, whether payable pursuant to the Notes or
otherwise, or of any check, draft, note, trade acceptance or other instrument
evidencing an obligation to pay any such sum, hold the same in trust for the
Secured Parties and shall forthwith endorse and transfer any such sums or
instruments, or both (to the extent permitted by law and in accordance with the
Visa and MasterCard Association Rules), to the Secured Parties, pro-rata in
proportion to their initial purchases of Notes for application to the
satisfaction of the Obligations (and if any Note is not outstanding, pro-rata in
proportion to the initial purchases of the remaining Notes).
13
(b) If
any Debtor shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any securities or
other property (including, without limitation, shares of Pledged Securities or
instruments representing Pledged Securities acquired after the date hereof, or
any options, warrants, rights or other similar property or certificates
representing a dividend, or any distribution in connection with any
recapitalization, reclassification or increase or reduction of capital, or
issued in connection with any reorganization of such Debtor or any of its direct
or indirect subsidiaries) in respect of the Pledged Securities (whether as an
addition to, in substitution of, or in exchange for, such Pledged Securities or
otherwise), such Debtor agrees to (i) accept the same as the agent of the
Secured Parties; (ii) hold the same in trust on behalf of and for the benefit of
the Secured Parties; and (iii) to deliver any and all certificates or
instruments evidencing the same to the Secured Parties on or before the close of
business on the fifth business day following the receipt thereof by such Debtor,
in the exact form received together with the Necessary Endorsements, to be held
by the Secured Parties subject to the terms of this Agreement as
Collateral.
8. Rights and Remedies Upon
Default.
(a) Upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter provided the
same is then continuing, the Secured Parties, acting through any agent appointed
by them for such purpose, shall have the right to exercise all of the remedies
conferred hereunder and under the Notes, and the Secured Parties shall have all
the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without
limitation, the Secured Parties shall have the following rights and
powers:
(i) The
Secured Parties shall have the right to take possession of the Collateral and,
for that purpose, enter, with the aid and assistance of any person, any premises
where the Collateral, or any part thereof, is or may be placed and remove the
same, and each Debtor shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to the
Secured Parties at places which the Secured Parties shall reasonably select,
whether at such Debtor's premises or elsewhere, and make available to the
Secured Parties, without rent, all of such Debtor’s respective premises and
facilities for the purpose of the Secured Parties taking possession of, removing
or putting the Collateral in saleable or disposable form.
14
(ii) Upon
notice to the Debtors by the Secured Parties, all rights of each Debtor to
exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be
entitled to exercise and all rights of each Debtor to receive the dividends and
interest which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain, shall
cease. Upon such notice, the Secured Parties shall have the right to
receive any interest, cash dividends or other payments on the Collateral and, at
the option oft, to exercise in such the Secured Parties’ discretion all voting
rights pertaining thereto. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Secured Parties shall have the right (but not the obligation) to
exercise all rights with respect to the Collateral as it were the sole and
absolute owners thereof, including, without limitation, to vote and/or to
exchange, at its sole discretion, any or all of the Collateral in connection
with a merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization or other
readjustment concerning or involving the Collateral or any Debtor or any of its
direct or indirect subsidiaries.
(iii) The
Secured Parties shall have the right to operate the business of each Debtor
using the Collateral and shall have the right to assign, sell, lease or
otherwise dispose of and deliver all or any part of the Collateral, at public or
private sale or otherwise, either with or without special conditions or
stipulations, for cash or on credit or for future delivery, in such parcel or
parcels and at such time or times and at such place or places, and upon such
terms and conditions as the Secured Parties may deem commercially reasonable,
all without (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be
waived) advertisement or demand upon or notice to any Debtor or right of
redemption of a Debtor, which are hereby expressly waived. Upon each
such sale, lease, assignment or other transfer of Collateral, the Secured
Parties may, unless prohibited by applicable law which cannot be waived,
purchase all or any part of the Collateral being sold, free from and discharged
of all trusts, claims, right of redemption and equities of any Debtor, which are
hereby waived and released.
(iv) The
Secured Parties shall have the right (but not the obligation) to notify any
account debtors and any obligors under instruments or accounts to make payments
directly to the Secured Parties and to enforce the Debtors’ rights against such
account debtors and obligors.
(v) The
Secured Parties may (but are not obligated to) direct any financial intermediary
or any other person or entity holding any investment property to transfer the
same to the Secured Parties or their designee.
(vi) The
Secured Parties may (but are not obligated to) transfer any or all Intellectual
Property registered in the name of any Debtor at the United States Patent and
Trademark Office and/or Copyright Office into the name of the Secured Parties or
any designee or any purchaser of any Collateral.
(b) The Secured
Parties may comply with any applicable law in connection with a disposition of
Collateral and such compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the
commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. The Secured
Parties may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties and may
specifically disclaim such warranties. If the Secured Parties sells
any of the Collateral on credit, the Debtors will only be credited with payments
actually made by the purchaser. In addition, each Debtor waives any
and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the
enforcement of any of the Secured Parties’ rights and remedies hereunder,
including, without limitation, its right following an Event of Default to take
immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise its rights and remedies
with respect thereto.
15
(c) For
the purpose of enabling the Secured Parties to further exercise rights and
remedies under this Section 8 or elsewhere provided by agreement or applicable
law, each Debtor hereby grants to the Secured Parties an irrevocable,
nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other
compensation to such Debtor) to use, license or sublicense following an Event of
Default, any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such
Debtor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license
access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored
and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout
thereof.
9. Applications of Proceeds. The
proceeds of any such sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral
hereunder shall be applied first, to the expenses of retaking, holding, storing,
processing and preparing for sale, selling, and the like (including, without
limitation, any taxes, fees and other costs incurred in connection therewith) of
the Collateral, to the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the
Secured Parties in enforcing their rights hereunder and in connection with
collecting, storing and disposing of the Collateral, and then to satisfaction of
the Obligations pro rata among the Secured Parties (based on then-outstanding
principal amounts of Notes at the time of any such determination), and to the
payment of any other amounts required by applicable law, after which the Secured
Parties shall pay to the applicable Debtor any surplus proceeds. If, upon the
sale, license or other disposition of the Collateral, the proceeds thereof are
insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Secured Parties are legally
entitled, the Debtors will be liable for the deficiency, together with interest
thereon, at the rate of 20% per annum or the lesser amount permitted by
applicable law (the “Default Rate”), and the reasonable fees of any attorneys
employed by the Secured Parties to collect such deficiency. To the
extent permitted by applicable law, each Debtor waives all claims, damages and
demands against the Secured Parties arising out of the repossession, removal,
retention or sale of the Collateral, unless due solely to the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of the Secured Parties as determined by a final judgment
(not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent
jurisdiction.
10. Securities Law
Provision. Each Debtor recognizes that the Secured Parties may
be limited in its ability to effect a sale to the public of all or part of the
Pledged Securities by reason of certain prohibitions in the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, or other federal or state securities laws (collectively, the
“Securities Laws”), and may be compelled to resort to one or more sales to a
restricted group of purchasers who may be required to agree to acquire the
Pledged Securities for their own account, for investment and not with a view to
the distribution or resale thereof. Each Debtor agrees that sales so
made may be at prices and on terms less favorable than if the Pledged Securities
were sold to the public, and that the Secured Parties has no obligation to delay
the sale of any Pledged Securities for the period of time necessary to register
the Pledged Securities for sale to the public under the Securities
Laws. Each Debtor shall cooperate with the Secured Parties in its
attempt to satisfy any requirements under the Securities Laws (including,
without limitation, registration thereunder if requested by the Secured Parties)
applicable to the sale of the Pledged Securities by the Secured
Parties.
16
11. Costs and Expenses. Each
Debtor agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses
incurred in connection with any filing required hereunder, including without
limitation, any financing statements pursuant to the UCC, continuation
statements, partial releases and/or termination statements related thereto or
any expenses of any searches reasonably required by the Secured
Parties. The Debtors shall also pay all other claims and charges
which in the reasonable opinion of the Secured Parties might prejudice, imperil
or otherwise affect the Collateral or the Security Interest
therein. The Debtors will also, upon demand, pay to the Secured
Parties the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable
fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, which the
Secured Parties may incur in connection with (i) the enforcement of this
Agreement, (ii) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from,
or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, or (iii) the exercise or
enforcement of any of the rights of the Secured Parties under the Notes. Until
so paid, any fees payable hereunder shall be added to the principal amount of
the Notes and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
12. Responsibility for Collateral.
The Debtors assume all liabilities and responsibility in connection with all
Collateral, and the Obligations shall in no way be affected or diminished by
reason of the loss, destruction, damage or theft of any of the Collateral or its
unavailability for any reason. The Secured Party agrees to act in
accordance with commercially reasonable standards and the
UCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Secured
Party (i) has any duty (either before or after an Event of Default) to collect
any amounts in respect of the Collateral or to preserve any rights relating to
the Collateral, or (ii) has any obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the
Collateral for sale, and (b) each Debtor shall remain obligated and liable under
each contract or agreement included in the Collateral to be observed or
performed by such Debtor thereunder. No Secured Party shall have any
obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of or
arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by any Secured Party of any payment
relating to any of the Collateral, nor shall the any Secured Party be obligated
in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Debtor under or pursuant
to any such contract or agreement, to make inquiry as to the nature or
sufficiency of any payment received by any Secured Party in respect of the
Collateral or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any
such contract or agreement, to present or file any claim, to take any action to
enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have
been assigned to any Secured Party may be entitled at any time or
times.
17
13. Security Interest Absolute.
All rights of the Secured Parties and all obligations of the Debtors hereunder,
shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of: (a) any lack of validity
or enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes or any agreement entered into in
connection with the foregoing, or any portion hereof or thereof; (b) any change
in the time, manner or place of payment or performance of, or in any other term
of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any
consent to any departure from the Notes or any other agreement entered into in
connection with the foregoing; (c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any
of the Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to
departure from any other collateral for, or any guaranty, or any other security,
for all or any of the Obligations; (d) any action by the Secured Parties to
obtain, adjust, settle and cancel in its sole discretion any insurance claims or
matters made or arising in connection with the Collateral; or (e) any other
circumstance which might otherwise constitute any legal or equitable defense
available to a Debtor, or a discharge of all or any part of the Security
Interest granted hereby. Until the Obligations shall have been paid
and performed in full, the rights of the Secured Parties shall continue even if
the Obligations are barred for any reason, including, without limitation, the
running of the statute of limitations or bankruptcy. Each Debtor
expressly waives presentment, protest, notice of protest, demand, notice of
nonpayment and demand for performance. In the event that at any time any
transfer of any Collateral or any payment received by the Secured Parties
hereunder shall be deemed by final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to
have been a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under the bankruptcy or
insolvency laws of the United States, or shall be deemed to be otherwise due to
any party other than the Secured Parties, then, in any such event, each Debtor’s
obligations hereunder shall survive cancellation of this Agreement, and shall
not be discharged or satisfied by any prior payment thereof and/or cancellation
of this Agreement, but shall remain a valid and binding obligation enforceable
in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. Each Debtor
waives all right to require the Secured Parties to proceed against any other
person or entity or to apply any Collateral which the Secured Parties may hold
at any time, or to marshal assets, or to pursue any other remedy. Each Debtor
waives any defense arising by reason of the application of the statute of
limitations to any obligation secured hereby.
14. Term of Agreement. This
Agreement and the Security Interest shall terminate on the date on which all
payments under the Notes have been indefeasibly paid in full and all other
Obligations have been paid or discharged; provided, however, that all
indemnities of the Debtors contained in this Agreement shall survive and remain
operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this
Agreement.
15.
Power of Attorney; Further
Assurances.
(a) Each
Debtor authorizes the Secured Parties, and does hereby make, constitute and
appoint the Secured Parties and their respective officers, agents, successors or

Debtor, to, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of

insurance) in respect of the Collateral that may come into possession of the
Secured Parties; (ii) to sign and endorse any financing statement pursuant to
the UCC or any invoice, freight or express xxxx, xxxx of lading, storage or

Parties deem necessary to protect, preserve and realize upon the Collateral and
the Security Interest granted therein in order to effect the intent of this
Agreement and the Notes all as fully and effectually as the Debtors might or
could do; and each Debtor hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully
do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is
coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement
and thereafter as long as any of the Obligations shall be
outstanding. The designation set forth herein shall be deemed to
amend and supersede any inconsistent provision in the Organizational Documents
or other documents or agreements to which any Debtor is subject or to which any
Debtor is a party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each
Secured Party is specifically authorized to execute and file any applications
for or instruments of transfer and assignment of any patents, trademarks,
copyrights or other Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and
Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office.
18
(b) On
a continuing basis, each Debtor will make, execute, acknowledge, deliver, file
and record, as the case may be, with the proper filing and recording agencies in
any jurisdiction, including, without limitation, the jurisdictions indicated on
Schedule C attached hereto, all such instruments, and take all such action as
may reasonably be deemed necessary or advisable, or as reasonably requested by
the Secured Parties, to perfect the Security Interest granted hereunder and
otherwise to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement, or for
assuring and confirming to the Secured Parties the grant or perfection of a
perfected security interest in all the Collateral under the UCC.
(c) Each
Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints the Secured Parties as such Debtor’s
attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and instead of such Debtor
and in the name of such Debtor, from time to time in the Secured Parties’
discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Secured
Parties may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement, including the filing, in its sole discretion, of one or more
financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of
the Collateral without the signature of such Debtor where permitted by law,
which financing statements may (but need not) describe the Collateral as “all
assets” or “all personal property” or words of like import, and ratifies all
such actions taken by the Secured Parties. This power of attorney is
coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement
and thereafter as long as any of the Obligations shall be
outstanding.
16. Notices. All notices,
requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be subject to the
notice provision of the Purchase Agreement (as such term is defined in the
Notes).
17. Other Security. To the extent
that the Obligations are now or hereafter secured by property other than the
Collateral or by the guarantee, endorsement or property of any other person,
firm, corporation or other entity, then the Secured Parties shall have the
right, in its sole discretion, to pursue, relinquish, subordinate, modify or
take any other action with respect thereto, without in any way modifying or
affecting any of the Secured Parties’ rights and remedies
hereunder.
19
18. Intentionally
Omitted.
19. Miscellaneous.
(a) No
course of dealing between the Debtors and the Secured Parties, nor any failure
to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Secured Parties,
any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the Notes shall operate as a
waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or
privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
(b) All
of the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties with respect to the
Collateral, whether established hereby or by the Notes or by any other
agreements, instruments or documents or by law shall be cumulative and may be
exercised singly or concurrently.
(c) This
Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof and is intended to supersede all prior negotiations,
understandings and agreements with respect thereto. Except as specifically set
forth in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement may be modified or
amended except by a written agreement specifically referring to this Agreement
and signed by the parties hereto.
(d) In
the event any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction for any reason, unless such provision is
narrowed by judicial construction, this Agreement shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be construed as if such invalid, prohibited or unenforceable
provision had been more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or
unenforceable. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of
this Agreement is held to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective to
the extent of such invalidity, prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining portion of such provision or the other provisions of
this Agreement and without affecting the validity or enforceability of such
provision or the other provisions of this Agreement in any other
jurisdiction.
(e) No
waiver of any breach or default or any right under this Agreement shall be
considered valid unless in writing and signed by the party giving such waiver,
and no such waiver shall be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default
or right, whether of the same or similar nature or otherwise.
(f)
This Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each party hereto and its
successors and assigns.
20
(g) Each
party shall take such further action and execute and deliver such further
documents as may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the
provisions and purposes of this Agreement.
(h) All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation

with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the
principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each Debtor agrees that all
proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Notes (whether brought
against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers,
shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced
exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York,
Borough of Manhattan. Each Debtor hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York,
Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in
connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed
herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any
proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of
any such court, that such proceeding is improper. Each party hereto hereby
irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being
served in any such proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or
certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party
at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that
such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice
thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right
to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Each party hereto
hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. If any party
shall commence a proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Agreement, then
the prevailing party in such proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party
for its reasonable attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses incurred with
the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such proceeding.
(i) This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so
executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together
shall constitute one and the same Agreement. In the event that any signature is
delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding
obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is
executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature
were the original thereof.
(j) All
Debtors shall jointly and severally be liable for the obligations of each Debtor
to the Secured Parties hereunder.
21
(k) Each
Debtor shall indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless the Secured Parties and
their respective partners, members, shareholders, officers, directors, employees
and agents (collectively, “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses,
claims, liabilities, damages, penalties, suits, costs and expenses, of any kind
or nature, (including fees relating to the cost of investigating and defending
any of the foregoing) imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such
Indemnitee in any way related to or arising from or alleged to arise from this
Agreement or the Collateral, except any such losses, claims, liabilities,
damages, penalties, suits, costs and expenses which result from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitee as determined by a final,
nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. This
indemnification provision is in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other
indemnification provision in the Notes, the Purchase Agreement (as such term is
defined in the Notes) or any other agreement, instrument or other document
executed or delivered in connection herewith or therewith.

in this Agreement shall be construed to subject any Secured Party to liability
as a partner in any Debtor or any if its direct or indirect subsidiaries that is

subsidiaries that is a limited liability company, nor any Secured Party be
deemed to have assumed any obligations under any partnership agreement or

or member, as applicable, pursuant hereto.
(m) To
the extent that the grant of the security interest in the Collateral and the
enforcement of the terms hereof require the consent, approval or action of any
partner or member, as applicable, of any Debtor or any direct or indirect
subsidiary of any Debtor or compliance with any provisions of any of the
Organizational Documents, the Debtors hereby grant such consent and approval and
waive any such noncompliance with the terms of said documents.
