the date hereof. Further, if Borrower at any time fails to perform or observe any agreement
contained in Section 3(f), and if such failure continues for a period of ten (10) Business
Days after Lender gives Borrower written notice thereof, Lender may (but need not) perform
or observe such agreement on behalf and in the name, place and stead of Borrower (or, at
Lender’s option, in Lender’s own name) and may (but need not) take any and all other actions
which Lender may reasonably deem necessary to cure or correct such failure (including,
without limitation the payment of taxes, the satisfaction of security interests, liens, or
encumbrances, the performance of obligations under contracts or agreements with account
debtors or other obligors, the procurement and maintenance of insurance, the execution of
financing statements, the endorsement of instruments, and the procurement of repairs or
transportation); and, except to the extent that the effect of such payment would be to
render any loan or forbearance of money usurious or otherwise illegal under any applicable
law, Borrower shall thereupon pay Lender on demand the amount of all moneys expended and all
costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Lender in connection
with or as a result of Lender’s performing or observing such agreements or taking such
actions, together with interest thereon from the date expended or incurred by Lender at the
highest rate then applicable to any of the Obligations.
(z) Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints (which appointment is
coupled with an interest) Lender, or its delegate, as the attorney-in-fact of Borrower with
the right (but not the duty) from time to time, following the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) create, prepare, complete, execute, deliver,
endorse or file, in the name and on behalf of Borrower, any and all instruments, documents,
financing statements, applications for insurance and other agreements and writings required
to be obtained, executed, delivered or endorsed by Borrower under this Section 3; (b) to
12
convert the Collateral into cash, including, without limitation, the sale (either
public or private) of all or any portion or portions of the Collateral; (c) to enforce
collection of the Collateral, either in its own name or in the name of Borrower, including,
without limitation, executing releases, compromising or settling with any Account debtors
and prosecuting, defending, compromising or releasing any action relating to the Collateral;
(d) to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to Borrower and to take therefrom any
remittances or proceeds of Collateral in which Lender has a security interest; (e) to notify
post office authorities to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to Borrower to
such address as Lender shall designate; (f) to endorse the name of Borrower in favor of
Lender upon any and all checks, drafts, money orders, notes, acceptances or other
instruments of the same or different nature; (g) to sign and endorse the name of Borrower on
and to receive as secured party any of the Collateral, any invoices, schedules of
Collateral, freight or express receipts, or bills of lading, storage receipts, warehouse
receipts, or other documents of title of the same or different nature relating to the
Collateral; (h) to sign the name of Borrower on any notice to the Account debtors or on
verification of the Collateral; and (i) to sign and file or record on behalf of Borrower any
financing or other statement in order to perfect or protect Lender’s security interest.
Lender shall not be obliged to do any of the acts or exercise any of the powers hereinabove
authorized, but if Lender elects to do any such act or exercise any such power, it shall not
be accountable for more than it actually receives as a result of such exercise of power, and
it shall not be responsible to Borrower except for willful misconduct in bad faith. All
powers conferred upon Lender by this Agreement, being coupled with an interest, shall be
irrevocable so long as any Obligation of Borrower to Lender shall remain unpaid.
4. Assignment of Insurance. Borrower hereby assigns to Lender, as additional security
for the payment of the Obligations, any and all moneys (including but not limited to proceeds of
insurance and refunds of unearned premiums) due or to become due under, and all other rights of
Borrower under or with respect to, any and all policies of insurance covering the Collateral, and
Borrower hereby directs the issuer of any such policy to pay any such moneys directly to Lender,
following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. After the occurrence
of an Event of Default, Lender may (but need not), in its own name or in Borrower’s name, execute
and deliver proofs of claim, receive all such moneys, endorse checks and other instruments
representing payment of such moneys, and adjust, litigate, compromise or release any claim against
the issuer of any such policy.
5. Events of Default. Each of the following occurrences shall constitute an event of
default under this Agreement (herein called “Event of Default”): (i) an Event of Default
shall occur under (and as defined in) the Credit Agreement; or (ii) Borrower shall fail to observe
or perform any covenant or agreement herein binding on it and such failure is not cured within
eight (8) Business Days after notice thereof is given to Borrower.
6. Remedies upon Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, Lender may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies: (i)
declare all unmatured Obligations to be immediately due and payable, and the same shall thereupon
be immediately due and payable, without presentment or other notice or demand; (ii) exercise and
enforce any or all rights and remedies available upon default to a secured party under the UCC,
including but not limited to the right to take possession of any Collateral, proceeding without
judicial process or by judicial process (without a prior hearing or notice thereof, which Borrower
13
hereby expressly waives), and the right to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any or all of
the Collateral, and in connection therewith, Lender may require Borrower to make the Collateral
available to Lender at a place to be designated by Lender which is reasonably convenient to both
parties, and if notice to Borrower of any intended disposition of Collateral or any other intended
action is required by law in a particular instance, such notice shall be deemed commercially
reasonable if given (in the manner specified in Section 10 at least ten (10) days prior to the date
of intended disposition or other action; and (iii) exercise or enforce any or all other rights or
remedies available to Lender by law or agreement against the Collateral, against Borrower or
against any other Person or property. Subject to the occurrence, and only during the continuance
of an Event of Default, Lender is hereby granted a nonexclusive, worldwide and royalty-free license
to use or otherwise exploit all intellectual property owned by or licensed to Borrower that Lender
deems necessary or appropriate to the disposition of any Collateral.
7. Other Personal Property. Unless, at the time Lender takes possession of any
tangible Collateral, or within seven (7) days thereafter, Borrower gives written notice to Lender
of the existence of any goods, papers or other property of Borrower, not affixed to or constituting
apart of such Collateral, but which are located or found upon or within such Collateral, describing
such property, Lender shall not be responsible or liable to Borrower for any action taken or
omitted by or on behalf of Lender with respect to such property.
8. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of Lender hereunder, the grant of a
security interest in the Collateral and all obligations of Borrower hereunder, shall be absolute
and unconditional irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit
Agreement, any of the other Facility Documents, the Loan, any agreement with respect to any of the
Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (ii) any change
in time, manner or place of payment 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 Credit Agreement, other
Facility Documents or any other agreement or instrument, (iii) any exchange, release or
non-perfection of any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to or
departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations, or (iv) any other circumstance
which might otherwise constitute a defense available to (other than the defense of indefeasible
payment), or a discharge of, Borrower in respect of the Obligations or in respect of this
Agreement.
9. Continuing Security Interest. This Agreement shall create a continuing security
interest in the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the indefeasable
payment in full of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Agreement. Upon the
indefeasable payment in full of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Agreement,
the Security Interest granted in this Agreement shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral
shall revert to Borrower. Upon any such termination, Lender shall (i) return to Borrower such of
the Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, and (ii) execute and deliver to Borrower such documents as Borrower shall reasonably
request to evidence such termination.
10. Notice. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and
shall be (a) personally delivered, (b) sent by first class United States mail, (c) sent by
overnight courier of national reputation, or (d) transmitted by facsimile, in each case addressed
or telecopied to the party to whom notice is being given at its address or telecopier number as set
forth below its signature or, as to each party, at such other address or facsimile number as may
hereafter be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party complying as to
delivery with the terms of this Section.
14
All such notices, requests, demands and other communications shall be deemed to have been
given on (i) the date received if personally delivered, (ii) five (5) days after being deposited in
the mail if delivered by mail, (iii) the date received if sent by overnight courier, or (iv) the
date of receipt if delivered by facsimile.
11. Miscellaneous. This Agreement can be waived, modified, amended, terminated or
discharged, and the Security Interest can be released, only explicitly in a writing signed by
Lender, and, in the case of amendment or modification, in a writing signed by both parties. A
waiver signed by Lender shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose given. Mere delay or failure to act shall not preclude the exercise or enforcement of any
of Lender’s rights or remedies. All rights and remedies of Lender shall be cumulative and may be
exercised singularly or concurrently, at Lender’s option, and the exercise or enforcement of any
one such right or remedy shall neither be a condition to nor bar the exercise or enforcement of any
other. Lender’s duty of care with respect to Collateral in its possession (as imposed by law)
shall be deemed fulfilled if Lender exercises reasonable care in physically safekeeping such
Collateral or, in the case of Collateral in the custody or possession of a bailee or other third
Person, exercises reasonable care in the selection of the bailee or other third Person, and Lender
need not otherwise preserve, protect, insure or care for any Collateral. Lender shall not be
obligated to preserve any rights Borrower may have against prior parties, to realize on the
Collateral at all or in any particular manner or order, or to apply any cash proceeds of Collateral
in any particular order of application. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns and shall take effect
when signed by Borrower and delivered to Lender, and Borrower waives notice of Lender’s acceptance
hereof. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or of any financing
statement signed by Borrower shall have the same force and effect as the original for all purposes
of a financing statement. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
substantive laws (other than conflict laws) of the State of New York, except to the extent that the
validity or perfection of the Security Interest hereunder, or remedies hereunder, in respect of any
particular Collateral are governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of New York.
If any provision or application of this Agreement is held unlawful or unenforceable in any respect,
such illegality or unenforceability shall not affect other provisions or applications which can be
given effect and this Agreement shall be construed as if the unlawful or unenforceable provision or
application had never been contained herein or prescribed hereby. All representations and
warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement and the creation and payment of the Obligations. Borrower hereby submits to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York City and the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York with respect to all suits and
actions arising under or out of this Agreement and hereby waives any objection to the venue of any
such court with respect to any such suit or action and any claim that any such suit or action
brought in such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
THE PARTIES WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED ON OR
PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT.
