the right at any time, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an
Event of Default and upon written notice to Grantor of its intention to do so,

of the Collateral;
(e) upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to pay or
discharge liens (other than liens permitted under this Agreement or the Purchase
Agreement) levied or placed upon or threatened against the Collateral, the

be determined by Secured Party in its sole discretion, any such payments made by
Secured Party to become obligations of Grantor to Secured Party, due and payable
immediately without demand;
(f) upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to sign and
endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or
warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications and

Collateral; and
(g) upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, generally to
sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal
with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though Secured Party were
the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Secured Party’s
option and Grantor’s expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and
things that Secured Party deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon
the Collateral and Secured Party’s security interest therein in order to effect
the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might
do.
SECTION
8. Secured Party May Perform;
Standard of
Care .
Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party may
itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of
Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Grantor under
Section 11 hereof. The powers conferred on Secured Party
hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not
impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the
exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession
and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, Secured Party
shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary
steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to
any Collateral. Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession
if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which
Secured Party accords its own property.
6
SECTION
9. Remedies.
(a) Generally. If any
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Secured Party may
exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and
remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and
remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC, and also may
(i) require Grantor to, and Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its
expense and upon request of Secured Party forthwith, assemble all or part of the
Collateral as directed by Secured Party and make it available to Secured Party
at a place to be designated by Secured Party that is reasonably convenient to
both parties, (ii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located
and take possession thereof with or without judicial process, (iii) prior
to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition the
Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to
the extent Secured Party deems appropriate, (iv) take possession of
Grantor’s premises or place custodians in exclusive control thereof, remain on
such premises and use the same and any of Grantor’s equipment for the purpose of
completing any work in process, taking any actions described in the preceding
clause (iii) and collecting any Secured Obligation, (v) sell the Collateral
or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of
Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future
delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other
terms as Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, (vi) exercise dominion
and control over and refuse to permit further withdrawals from any Deposit
Account maintained with Secured Party or any Investor and provide instructions
directing the disposition of funds in Deposit Accounts not maintained with
Secured Party or any Investor and (vii) provide entitlement orders with respect
to Security Entitlements and other Investment Property constituting a part of
the Collateral and, without notice to Grantor, transfer to or register in the
name of Secured Party or any of its nominees any or all of the Collateral
constituting Investment Property. Secured Party or any Investor may
be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale and Secured
Party, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or
payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at
any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a
credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by Secured
Party at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the
property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of Grantor,
and Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights
of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the
future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter
enacted. Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be
required by law, at least ten days’ notice to Grantor of the time and place of
any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall
constitute reasonable notification. Secured Party shall not be
obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having
been given. Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from
time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale
may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so
adjourned. Grantor hereby waives any claims against Secured Party
arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have
been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been
obtained at a public sale, even if Secured Party accepts the first offer
received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one
offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the
Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, Grantor shall be
liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by Secured
Party to collect such deficiency. Grantor further agrees that a
breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 9 will cause
irreparable injury to Secured Party, that Secured Party 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
Grantor, and 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.
7
(b) Intellectual
Property. In addition to, and not by way of limitation of, the
granting of a security interest in the Collateral pursuant hereto, Grantor,
effective upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to Secured Party the nonexclusive
right and license to use all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents or
technical processes owned or used by Grantor that relate to the Collateral,
together with any goodwill associated therewith, all to the extent necessary to
enable Secured Party to realize on the Collateral in accordance with this
Agreement and to enable any transferee or assignee of the Collateral to enjoy
the benefits of the Collateral. This right shall inure to the benefit
of all successors, assigns and transferees of Secured Party and its successors,
assigns and transferees, whether by voluntary conveyance, operation of law,
assignment, transfer, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or
otherwise. Such right and license shall be granted free of charge,
without requirement that any monetary payment whatsoever be made to such
Grantor.

expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, all proceeds received by Secured
Party in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all
or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in the following order of
priority:

the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses of such sale, collection or
other realization, including reasonable compensation to Secured Party and
its agents and counsel, and all other reasonable expenses,
liabilities and advances made or incurred by Secured Party in connection
therewith or the other Transaction Documents and all advances made by Secured
Party hereunder for the account of Grantor, and to the payment of all costs and
expenses paid or incurred by Secured Party in connection with the exercise of
any right or remedy hereunder;
SECOND: To
the payment of all other Secured Obligations (for the ratable benefit of the
holders thereof); and

agrees to pay to Secured Party upon demand the amount of any and all costs and
expenses, including the fees and expenses of counsel and of any experts and
agents, that Secured Party may incur in connection with the exercise of rights
or remedies hereunder following an Event of Default or the failure by any
Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. The
obligations of Grantor in this Section 11 shall survive the termination of
this Agreement and the discharge of Grantor’s other obligations under this
Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents.

Waiver; Remedies Cumulative; Severability.
(a) No
failure or delay on the part of Secured Party in the exercise of any power,
right or privilege hereunder shall impair such power, right or privilege or be
construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or
privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are
cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise
available.
(b) 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.
