reason of this Agreement, nor shall any of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee
or
any Noteholder be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of
any
Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for
payment assigned hereunder. Until an Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Indenture,
the
Intercreditor Agreement or any other Indenture Loan Document, Grantors shall
have the right to possession and enjoyment of the Collateral for the purpose
of
conducting the ordinary course of their respective businesses, subject to and

and beneficial ownership of the Pledged Interests, including, without
limitation, all voting, consensual, and dividend rights, shall remain with
the
applicable Grantor unless an Event of Default shall exist and until the
Collateral Agent shall notify the applicable Grantor of the Collateral Agent's

claim
against such Grantor has been made in writing and is continuing or, to the

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
of
the Collateral.
(b) Each
Grantor hereby authorizes the filing of such financing or continuation
statements, or amendments thereto, and such Grantor will execute and deliver
to
the Collateral Agent such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary
or
as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and preserve
the Security Interest granted or purported to be granted hereby.
17
(c) Each
Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file, transmit, or
communicate, as applicable, financing statements and amendments describing
the
Collateral as “all personal property of debtor” or “all assets of debtor” or
words of similar effect, in order to perfect the Collateral Agent’s security
interest in the Collateral (subject in priority only to the first priority
perfected Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent in accordance with the
provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement) without such Grantor’s signature.
Each Grantor also hereby ratifies its authorization for the Collateral Agent
to
have filed in any jurisdiction any financing statements filed prior to the
date
hereof.
(d) Each
Grantor acknowledges that (prior to the termination of this Agreement in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture Loan Documents) it is not authorized
to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with
respect to any financing statement filed in connection with this Agreement
without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent and (if the
Intercreditor Agreement has not been terminated) the Administrative Agent,
subject to such Grantor's rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the
Code.
9. Collateral
Agent's Right to Perform Contracts.
Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof,
subject to the rights of the Administrative Agent under the Intercreditor
Agreement, the Collateral Agent (or its agent or designee, including, without
limitation, the Administrative Agent or any Lender in accordance with the
provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement; it being understood that the
Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to do so) may proceed to perform
any
and all of the obligations of any Grantor contained in any contract, lease,
or
other agreement and exercise any and all rights of any Grantor therein contained
as fully as such Grantor itself could.
10. Collateral
Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.
Each
Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent its attorney-in-fact,
with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name
of
such Grantor or otherwise, at such time as an Event of Default has occurred
and
is continuing under the Indenture or any other Indenture Loan Document, to
(subject to the rights of the Administrative Agent under the Intercreditor
Agreement) take any action and to execute any instrument which the Collateral
Agent may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes
of
this Agreement (it being understood that the Collateral Agent shall have no
obligation to do so) including, without limitation:
(a) to
ask,
demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance
and
receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in connection with the
Accounts or any other Collateral of such Grantor;
(b) to
receive and open all mail addressed to such Grantor and to notify postal
authorities to change the address for the delivery of mail to such Grantor
to
that of the Collateral Agent;
(c) to
receive, indorse, and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents,
Negotiable Collateral or Chattel Paper;
(d) to
file
any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Collateral
Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the
Collateral of such Grantor or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Collateral
Agent with respect to any of the Collateral;
(e) to
repair, alter, or supply goods, if any, necessary to fulfill in whole or in
part
the purchase order of any Person obligated to such Grantor in respect of any
Account of such Grantor;
18
(f) to
use
any labels, Patents, Trademarks, trade names, URLs, domain names, industrial
designs, Copyrights, advertising matter or other industrial or intellectual
property rights, in advertising for sale and selling Inventory and other
Collateral and to collect any amounts due under Accounts, contracts or
Negotiable Collateral of such Grantor; and
(g) the
Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and each Noteholder, shall
have the right, but shall not be obligated, to bring suit in its own name to
enforce the Trademarks, Patents, Copyrights and Intellectual Property Licenses
and, if the Collateral Agent shall commence any such suit, the appropriate
Grantor shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent, do any and all lawful
acts and execute any and all proper documents as necessary or as reasonably
required by the Collateral Agent in aid of such enforcement.
To
the
extent permitted by law, each Grantor hereby ratifies all that such
attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This
power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until
this Agreement is terminated.
11. Collateral
Agent May Perform.
If any
Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Collateral Agent
may (but without any obligation) itself perform, or cause performance of, such
agreement, and the reasonable expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in
connection therewith shall be payable, jointly and severally, by
Grantors.
12. Collateral
Agent’s Duties.
The
powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the
Collateral Agent's interest in the Collateral, for the benefit of itself, the
Trustee or the Noteholders, and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral
Agent to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral
in its actual 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
any
Collateral in its actual possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment
substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property.
13. Collection
of Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral.
At any
time upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default,
the
Collateral Agent (or the Collateral Agent’s agent or designee, including,
without limitation, the Administrative Agent or any Lender in accordance with
the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement) may, subject to the rights of
the
Administrative Agent under the Intercreditor Agreement, (a) notify Account
Debtors of any Grantor that such Grantor’s Accounts, General Intangibles,
Chattel Paper or Negotiable Collateral have been assigned to the Collateral
Agent, for the benefit of itself, the Trustee or the Noteholders, or that the
Collateral Agent has a security interest therein, and (b) collect such Grantor’s
Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral directly, and any
collection costs and expenses shall constitute part of such Grantor's Indenture
Secured Obligations under the Indenture Loan Documents.
14. Disposition
of Pledged Interests by the Collateral Agent.
None of
the Pledged Interests existing as of the date of this Agreement are, and none
of
the Pledged Interests hereafter acquired on the date of acquisition thereof
will
be, registered or qualified under the various federal or state securities laws
of the United States and disposition thereof after an Event of Default may
be
restricted to one or more private (instead of public) sales in view of the
lack
of such registration. Each Grantor understands that in connection with such
disposition, the Collateral Agent may approach only a restricted number of
potential purchasers and further understands that a sale under such
circumstances may yield a lower price for the Pledged Interests than if the
Pledged Interests were registered and qualified pursuant to federal and state
securities laws and sold on the open market. Each Grantor, therefore, agrees
that: (a) if the Collateral Agent shall, pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, sell or cause the Pledged
Interests or any portion thereof to be sold at a private sale, the Collateral
Agent shall have the right to rely upon the advice and opinion of any nationally
recognized brokerage or investment firm (but shall not be obligated to seek
such
advice and the failure to do so shall not be considered in determining the
commercial reasonableness of such action) as to the best manner in which to
offer the Pledged Interest for sale and as to the best price reasonably
obtainable at the private sale thereof; and (b) such reliance shall be
conclusive evidence that the Collateral Agent has handled the disposition in
a
commercially reasonable manner.
14
15. Voting
Rights.
(a) Upon
the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) the
Collateral Agent may, at its option, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement,
and
with prior notice (unless such Event of Default is an Event of Default of a
type
specified in clause (7) or clause (8) of Section 6.01 of the Indenture for
which
no such notice need be given) to the Grantors, and in addition to all rights
and
remedies available to the Collateral Agent under any other agreement, at law,
in
equity, or otherwise, exercise all voting rights, and all other ownership or
consensual rights in respect of the Pledged Interests owned by such Grantor,
but
under no circumstances is the Collateral Agent obligated by the terms of this
Agreement to exercise such rights, and (ii) if the Collateral Agent duly
exercises its right to vote any of such Pledged Interests, each Grantor hereby
appoints the Collateral Agent, such Grantor's true and lawful attorney-in-fact
and IRREVOCABLE PROXY to vote such Pledged Interests in any manner the
Collateral Agent deems advisable for or against all matters submitted or which
may be submitted to a vote of shareholders, partners or members, as the case
may
be. The power-of-attorney granted hereby is coupled with an interest and shall
be irrevocable.
(b) For
so
long as any Grantor shall have the right to vote the Pledged Interests owned
by
it, such Grantor covenants and agrees that it will not, without the prior
written consent of the Collateral Agent, vote or take any consensual action
with
respect to such Pledged Interests which would materially adversely affect the
rights of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any of the Noteholders or the
value of the Pledged Interests or that would be inconsistent with or result
in
any violation of any provision of the Indenture or any other Indenture Loan
Document.
16. Remedies.
Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to
the
Intercreditor Agreement:
(a) the
Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to
other
rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Indenture Loan Documents,
or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party
on
default under the Code or any other applicable law. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that, in any such
event, the Collateral Agent without demand of performance or other demand,
advertisement or notice of any kind (except a notice specified below of time
and
place of public or private sale) to or upon any of Grantors or any other Person
(all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly
waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code or any other applicable
law),
may take immediate possession of all or any portion of the Collateral and (i)
require Grantors to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its own
expense and 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 one or more locations where such Grantor regularly
maintains Inventory, and (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell
the
Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private
sale,
at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, and
upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable.
Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by
law,
at least 10 days notice to any of Grantors 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 and specifically such notice shall constitute a
reasonable “authenticated notification of disposition” within the meaning of
Section 9-611 of the Code. 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.
20
(b) Solely
for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise its rights and
remedies with respect to the Collateral under this Agreement or any other
Indenture Loan Document, the Collateral Agent is hereby granted an irrevocable
license or other right to use, without liability to any Grantor for royalties
or
any other charge, each Grantor’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, rights of use of
any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, service marks and advertising
matter, URLs, domain names, industrial designs, other industrial or intellectual
property or any property of a similar nature, whether owned or licensable by
any
Grantor or with respect to which any Grantor has sublicensable rights under
license, sublicense, or other agreements, as it pertains to the Collateral,
in
preparing for sale, advertising for sale and selling any Collateral, and each
Grantor’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to
the benefit of the Collateral Agent.
(c) Any
cash
held by the Collateral Agent as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by
the
Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other
realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied against
the
Indenture Secured Obligations in the order set forth in the Intercreditor
Agreement, if in effect or else, in the Indenture. In the event the proceeds
of
Collateral are insufficient to satisfy all of the Indenture Secured Obligations
in full, each Grantor shall remain jointly and severally liable for any such
deficiency.
(d) Each
Grantor hereby acknowledges that the Indenture Secured Obligations arose out
of
a commercial transaction, and agrees that if an Event of Default shall occur
the
Collateral Agent shall have the right, to the extent permitted under applicable
law, to an immediate writ of possession without notice of a hearing. The
Collateral Agent shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver for
the
properties and assets of each Grantor, and each Grantor hereby consents to
such
rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection such Grantor may
have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by the
Collateral Agent.
17. Remedies
Cumulative.
Each
right, power, and remedy of the Collateral Agent as provided for in this
Agreement or in the other Indenture Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing
at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and
concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power, or remedy
provided for in this Agreement or in the other Indenture Loan Documents or
now
or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the
exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Collateral Agent, of any one or
more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous
or
later exercise by the Collateral Agent of any or all such other rights, powers,
or remedies.
18. Marshaling.
The
Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future
collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other
assurances of payment of, the Indenture Secured Obligations or any of them
or to
resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any
particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect
of
such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative
and
in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising.
To
the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not
invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay
in or impede the enforcement of the Collateral Agent's rights and remedies
under
this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of
the
Indenture Secured Obligations or under which any of the Indenture Secured
Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Indenture Secured Obligations
is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that
it
lawfully may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such
laws.
21
19. Indemnity
and Expenses.
(a) Each
Grantor, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and each Noteholder to the same extent and
in
the same manner as the indemnity made by the Issuers pursuant to Section 7.07
of
the Indenture. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and the Indenture and the repayment of the Indenture Secured
Obligations.
(b) Grantors,
jointly and severally, shall, upon demand, pay to the Collateral Agent all
reasonable and documented costs and expenses which the Collateral Agent may
incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the
custody, preservation, use or operation of, or, upon an Event of Default, the
sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral
in
accordance with this Agreement and the other Indenture Loan Documents, (iii)
the
exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder
or (iv) the failure by any of Grantors to perform or observe any of the
provisions hereof.
20. Merger,
Amendments; Etc.
THIS
WRITTEN AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER INDENTURE LOAN DOCUMENTS, REPRESENTS
THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE
OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE
ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. No waiver of any provision
of
this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any of Grantors herefrom,
shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed
by the Collateral Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective
only
in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No
amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless the
same
shall be in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent and each Grantor to
which
such amendment applies.
21. Addresses
for Notices.
All
notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be given in the
form and manner and delivered to the Collateral Agent at its address specified
in the Indenture, and to any of the Grantors at their respective addresses
specified in the Indenture or Guaranty, as applicable, or, as to any party,
at
such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice
to
the other party.
22. Continuing
Security Interest: Assignments under Indenture.
This
Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and
shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been paid
in full in cash in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, (b) be
binding upon each Grantor, and their respective successors and assigns, and
(c)
inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Collateral Agent, and its
successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing clause (c), any Lender may, in accordance with the provisions of
the
Indenture, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and
obligations under the Indenture to any other Person, and such other Person
shall
thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to
such
Lender herein or otherwise. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations
in
accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, this Agreement and the Security
Interest granted hereby shall terminate and this Agreement and all rights to
the
Collateral shall revert to Grantors or any other Person entitled thereto. At
such time, the Collateral Agent will file or authorize the filing of appropriate
termination statements or other release documents provided to it to terminate
such Security Interests. No transfer or renewal, extension, assignment, or
termination of this Agreement or of the Indenture, any other Indenture Loan
Document, or any other instrument or document executed and delivered by any
Grantor to the Collateral Agent, nor the taking of further security, nor the
retaking or re-delivery of the Collateral to Grantors, or any of them, by the
Collateral Agent, nor any other act of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or
any
Noteholder, or any of them, shall release any Grantor from any obligation,
except a release or discharge executed in writing by the Collateral Agent in
accordance with the provisions of the Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall
not
by any act, delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its
rights or remedies hereunder, unless such waiver is in writing and signed by
the
Collateral Agent and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by
the
Collateral Agent of any right or remedy on any occasion shall not be construed
as a bar to the exercise of any such right or remedy which the Collateral Agent
would otherwise have had on any other occasion.
22
23. Governing
Law.
(a) THE
VALIDITY OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER INDENTURE LOAN DOCUMENTS (UNLESS
EXPRESSLY PROVIDED TO THE CONTRARY IN ANOTHER INDENTURE LOAN DOCUMENT IN RESPECT

WITH RESPECT TO ALL MATTERS ARISING HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER OR RELATED HERETO

COLLATERAL AGENT’S
OPTION, IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION WHERE THE
COLLATERAL AGENT
ELECTS

WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT EACH MAY HAVE
TO
ASSERT THE DOCTRINE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS
OR TO
OBJECT TO VENUE TO THE EXTENT ANY PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THIS
SECTION
23(b).
(c) EACH
GRANTOR AND EACH OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT, THE TRUSTEE AND EACH NOTEHOLDER HEREBY
WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON
OR
ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE INDENTURE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED THEREIN, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY
CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH GRANTOR AND THE
COLLATERAL AGENT, THE TRUSTEE AND EACH NOTEHOLDER REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS

OF
THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE
COURT.
23
24. New
Subsidiaries.
To the
extent required by Section 4.16 or Section 10.04 of the Indenture or any other
applicable provision of any Indenture Loan Document, any new direct or indirect
Subsidiary (whether by acquisition or creation) of any Grantor is required
to
enter into this Agreement by executing and delivering in favor of the Collateral
Agent a supplement to this Agreement instrument in the form of Annex
1
attached
hereto. Upon the execution and delivery of such supplement to this Agreement
by
such new Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder with
the
same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution
and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Grantor as a party to this
Agreement shall not require the consent of any Grantor hereunder. The rights
and
obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor hereunder.
25. Collateral
Agent.
Each
reference herein to any right granted to, benefit conferred upon or power
exercisable by the “Collateral Agent” shall be a reference to the Collateral
Agent, for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and each Noteholder.
26. Miscellaneous.
(a) This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties
on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall
be
deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall
constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart
of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission
shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart
of
this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement
by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver
an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver
an
original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability,
and
binding effect of this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other
Indenture Loan Document mutatis mutandis.
(b) Any
provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable shall be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof in that jurisdiction or affecting
the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction.
(c) Headings
used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be used in
connection with the interpretation of any provision hereof.
(d) The
pronouns used herein shall include, when appropriate, either gender and both
singular and plural, and the grammatical construction of sentences shall conform
thereto.
(e) In
connection with its appointment and acting hereunder, the Collateral Agent
is
entitled to all rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits
provided to the Trustee under the Indenture.
24

Collateral and their rights with respect thereto; and
WHEREAS,
pursuant to the Security Agreement, Grantors are required to execute and deliver
to Collateral Agent, for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the Noteholders,
this Trademark Security Agreement;
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein
contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Grantor hereby agrees as
follows:
1. DEFINED
TERMS.
All
capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given
to them in the Security Agreement, the Indenture Loan Documents and/or the
Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable.
2. GRANT
OF SECURITY INTEREST IN TRADEMARK COLLATERAL.
Each
Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of itself, the
Trustee and the Noteholders, a continuing security interest (subject in priority
only to the first priority perfected security interests in favor of the
Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Intercreditor
Agreement) in all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in, to and under
the following, whether presently existing or hereafter created or acquired
(collectively, the “Trademark
Collateral”):
(a) all
of
its Trademarks and rights in and to Trademark Intellectual Property Licenses
to
which it is a party referred to on Schedule I hereto;
(b) all
extensions, modifications and renewals of the foregoing;
(c) all
goodwill of the business connected with the use of, and symbolized by, each
Trademark and each Trademark Intellectual Property License; and
(d) all
products and proceeds of the foregoing, including, without limitation, any
claim
by such Grantor against third parties for past, present or future (i)
infringement or dilution of any Trademark or any Trademark licensed under any
Intellectual Property License or (ii) injury to the goodwill associated with
any
Trademark or any Trademark licensed under any Intellectual Property
License.
3. SECURITY
AGREEMENT.
The
security interests granted pursuant to this Trademark Security Agreement are
granted in conjunction with the security interests granted to the Collateral
Agent, for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the Noteholders, pursuant
to
the Security Agreement. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges and affirms that the
rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent with respect to the security
interest in the Trademark Collateral made and granted hereby are more fully
set
forth in the Security Agreement, the terms and provisions of which are
incorporated by reference herein as if fully set forth herein.
4. AUTHORIZATION
TO SUPPLEMENT.
If any
Grantor shall obtain rights to any new trademarks, the provisions of this
Trademark Security Agreement shall automatically apply thereto. Grantors shall
give prompt notice in writing to the Collateral Agent with respect to any such
new trademarks or renewal or extension of any trademark registration. Without
limiting Grantors' obligations under this Section
4,
Grantors hereby authorize the Collateral Agent unilaterally to modify this
Agreement by amending Schedule
I
to
include any such new trademark rights of Grantors. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no failure to so modify this Trademark Security Agreement or amend
Schedule
I
shall in
any way affect, invalidate or detract from the Collateral Agent's continuing
security interest in all Collateral, whether or not listed on Schedule
I.
5. COUNTERPARTS.
This
Trademark Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each
of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such separate counterparts
shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. In proving this
Trademark Security Agreement or any other Indenture Loan Document in any
judicial proceedings, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more
than one such counterpart signed by the party against whom such enforcement
is
sought. Any signatures delivered by a party by facsimile transmission or by
e-mail transmission shall be deemed an original signature hereto.
6. INCORPORATION
BY REFERENCE.
In
connection with its appointment and acting hereunder, the Collateral Agent
is
entitled to all rights, privileges, protections, immunities, benefits and
indemnities of the “Collateral Agent” under the Security Agreement.
