The

upon the Collateral (and no right or option to acquire the same exists in favor
of any other Person) other than (a) the security interest created or
provided for herein, which security interest constitutes a valid first and
prior
perfected Lien on the Collateral, and (b) the Liens expressly permitted by
Section 7.02 of the Credit Agreement.
2.02 Names,
Etc.
The full
and correct legal name, type of organization, jurisdiction of organization,
organizational ID number (if applicable) and mailing address of each Obligor
as
of the date hereof are correctly set forth in Annex 1. Said Annex 1
correctly specifies as of the date hereof the place of business of each

of
the chief executive office of such Obligor.
2.03 Changes
in Circumstances.
No
Obligor has (i) within the period of four months prior to the date hereof,

prior to the date hereof, changed its name, or (iii) except as specified in

such lesser percentage that constitutes all of the voting stock of such Issuer
owned by such Obligor) of the issued and outstanding shares of voting stock
of
such Issuer and (ii) 100% of all other issued and
-4-
outstanding
shares of capital stock of whatever class of such Issuer directly owned by
each
Obligor on the date hereof, in each case whether or not registered in the name

hereof, the respective Issuers of the Initial Pledged Shares and (in the case
of
any corporate Issuer) the respective class and par value of such Shares and

any restriction under the charter, by-laws, partnership agreement or other
organizational instrument of the respective Issuer thereof, upon the transfer
of
such Pledged Shares (except for any such restriction contained herein or in
the
Loan Documents, or under such organizational instruments).
None
of
the Initial Pledged Shares constitute Uncertificated Securities. No partnership
agreement, limited liability agreement nor any other agreement of any Issuer
that is not a corporation provides that any of the Initial Pledged Shares of
such Issuer are securities governed by Article 8 of the NYUCC.
As

execution date hereof, each Obligor shall have delivered to the Collateral
Agent
all certificates evidencing any of the Initial Pledged Shares, accompanied
by
undated stock or other powers duly executed in blank; provided
that the
Initial Pledged Shares identified as item 7 on Annex 3 (Part A) shall be
delivered to the Collateral Agent no later than 30 Business Days following
the
date hereof (or such later date as the Collateral Agent may agree).
2.05 Promissory

Promissory Note held by each Obligor on the date hereof having an aggregate
outstanding principal amount equal to or in excess of $500,000.

date hereof (or, in the case of any supplement to said Annexes 4, 5
and 6, effecting a pledge thereof, as of the date of such
supplement).
As
of the
date hereof, except pursuant to licenses and other user agreements entered
into
by the Obligors in the ordinary course of business that are listed in said
Annexes 4, 5 and 6 (including as supplemented by any supplement
effecting a pledge thereof), no Obligor has done anything to authorize or enable
any other Person to use any Copyright, Patent or Trademark
-5-
listed
in
said Annexes 4, 5 and 6 (as so supplemented), and all
registrations listed in said Annexes 4, 5 and 6 (as so
supplemented) are, except as noted therein, in full force and
effect.
As
of the
date hereof, to each Obligor’s knowledge, (i) except as set forth in said
Annexes 4, 5 and 6 (as supplemented by any supplement effecting a
pledge thereof), there is no violation by others of any right of such Obligor
with respect to any Copyright, Patent or Trademark listed in said
Annexes 4, 5 and 6 (as so supplemented), respectively, and
(ii) such Obligor is not infringing in any respect upon any Copyright,
Patent or Trademark of any other Person; and no proceedings alleging such

written claim against such Obligor has been received by such Obligor, alleging
any such violation, except as may be set forth in said Annexes 4, 5
and 6 (as so supplemented).

the
benefit of the Secured Creditors as hereinafter provided a security interest

or
under the control of such Obligor or any computer bureau or service company
from
time to time acting for such Obligor),
IT
BEING
UNDERSTOOD, HOWEVER, that (A) in the case of any of the foregoing that

interest granted under this Section 3 attach to (1) any lease,
license, contract, property rights or agreement to which such Obligor is a
party
(or to any of its rights or interests thereunder) if the grant of such security
interest therein would constitute or result in either (i) the abandonment,
invalidation or unenforceability of any right, title or interest of such Obligor
therein or (ii) in a breach or termination pursuant to the terms of, or a
default under, any such lease, license, contract, property rights or agreement

such
Lien
is granted (or the documentation providing for such Indebtedness) validly
prohibits the creation of any other Lien on such assets and (3) any
Fixtures located on premises leased by the Obligors to the extent the pledge
thereof or grant of a security interest therein (x) is prohibited by the
lease governing such premises or (y) would result in the forfeiture of any
Obligor’s right, title or interest therein under applicable law, (C) the
security interest created hereby in Shares constituting voting stock of any
Issuer that is a Foreign Subsidiary shall be limited to that portion of such
voting stock that does not exceed 65% of the aggregate issued and outstanding

(and
credited to the Collateral Account), provided
that at
any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
the Collateral Agent may (and, if instructed by the Lenders as provided in
the
Credit Agreement, shall) in its (or their) discretion at any time and from
time
to time elect to liquidate any such Permitted Investments and to apply or cause
to be applied the proceeds thereof to the payment of the Secured Obligations

in Section 9-104, 9-105, 9-106 or 9-107 of the NYUCC) of any Electronic
Chattel Paper, Investment Property or Letter-of-Credit Right constituting part
of the Collateral.
5.03 Preservation
of Rights.
The
Collateral Agent shall not be required to take steps necessary to preserve
any
rights against prior parties to any of the Collateral.
5.04 Special
Provisions Relating to Certain Collateral.
(a) Pledged
Shares.
(i) Except
as
may be permitted otherwise by the Credit Agreement, each Obligor will cause
the
Pledged Shares to constitute at all times (1) 100% of the total number of Shares
of each Issuer other than a Foreign Subsidiary then outstanding owned directly
by such Obligor and (2) in the case of any Issuer that is a Foreign
Subsidiary, 65% (or such lesser percentage that constitutes all of the voting
stock of such Issuer owned by such Obligor) of the total number of shares of
voting stock of such Issuer and 100% of the total number of shares of all other
classes of capital stock of such Issuer then issued and outstanding owned by
such Obligor.
(ii) Subject
to
the last sentence of this Section 5.04(a)(ii), each Obligor shall have the
right to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership
pertaining
-11-
to
the
Pledged Shares for all purposes not inconsistent with the terms of this
Agreement, the Loan Documents or any other instrument or agreement referred
to
herein or therein, provided
that such
Obligor agrees that it will not vote the Pledged Shares in any manner that
is
inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the Credit Agreement; and
the
Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to such Obligor or cause to be
executed and delivered to such Obligor all such proxies, powers of attorney,
dividend and other orders, and all such instruments, without recourse, as such
Obligor may request for the purpose of enabling such Obligor to exercise the
rights and powers that it is entitled to exercise pursuant to this
Section 5.04(a)(ii). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
rights of the Obligors under this Section 5.04(a)(ii) shall terminate
immediately upon (x) the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default
and (y) the delivery of a written notice from the Collateral Agent of its
intent to exercise its rights under this Section 5.04(a) (unless the
Collateral Agent is prohibited by law to give such notice in which case such
written notice shall not be required for termination of the Obligors’ rights
hereunder).
(iii) Subject
to
the last sentence of this Section 5.04(a)(iii), each Obligor shall be
entitled to receive and retain any dividends, distributions or proceeds on
the
Pledged Shares paid in cash out of earned surplus. Notwithstanding anything
to
the contrary herein, the rights of the Obligors under this
Section 5.04(a)(iii) shall terminate immediately upon (x) the
occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default and (y) the delivery of
a written notice from the Collateral Agent of its intent to exercise its rights
under this Section 5.04(a) (unless the Collateral Agent is prohibited by
law to give such notice in which case such written notice shall not be required
for termination of the Obligors’ rights hereunder).
(iv) Upon
(x) the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default and (y) the
delivery of a written notice from the Collateral Agent of its intent to exercise
its rights under this Section 5.04(a) (unless the Collateral Agent is
prohibited by law to give such notice in which case such written notice shall
not be required), whether or not the Secured Creditors or any of them exercise
any available right to declare any Secured Obligations due and payable or seek
or pursue any other relief or remedy available to them under applicable law
or
under this Agreement, the Loan Documents or any other agreement relating to
such
Secured Obligation, all dividends and other distributions on the Pledged Shares
shall be paid directly to the Collateral Agent and retained by it in the
Collateral Account as part of the Collateral, subject to the terms of this
Agreement, and, if the Collateral Agent shall so request in writing, each
Obligor agrees to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent appropriate
additional dividend, distribution and other orders and documents to that end,
provided
that if
such Event of Default is cured, any such dividend or distribution theretofore
paid to the Collateral Agent shall, upon request of any Obligor (except to
the
extent theretofore applied to the Secured Obligations), be returned by the
Collateral Agent to such Obligor.
(v) Either:
(i) no partnership agreement, limited liability agreement nor any other
agreement of any Issuer that is not a corporation shall provide that any of
the
Pledged Shares of such Issuer are securities governed by Article 8 of the
NYUCC or
-12-
(ii) if
any of such Pledged Shares are securities governed by Article 8 of the
NYUCC, then such Pledged Shares shall be certificated.
(b) Intellectual
Property.
(i) For
the
purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under
Section 5.05 at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully
entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each
Obligor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, to the extent assignable, an
irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty
or
other compensation to such Obligor) to use or sublicense any of the Intellectual
Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Obligor, wherever the same
may
be located, including in such license reasonable access to all media in which
any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs
used for the compilation or printout thereof, subject to any licenses granted
by
any Obligor in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement prior to the
occurrence of an Event of Default; provided,
however
that the
Collateral Agent agrees that it shall provide prior written notice of its intent
to exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 5.04(b) (unless the
Collateral Agent is prohibited by law to give such notice in which case such
written notice shall not be required for the Collateral Agent to exercise its
rights hereunder).
(ii) Notwithstanding
Section 5.04(b)(i) and subject to the provisions of Section 7.03 of
the Credit Agreement that limit the rights of any Obligor to dispose of its
property, each Obligor will be permitted to exploit, use, enjoy, protect,
license, sublicense, assign, sell, dispose of or take other actions with respect
to the Intellectual Property in the ordinary course of the business of such
Obligor; provided,
however,
that
notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the rights of the Obligors
under this Section 5.04(b)(ii) shall terminate immediately upon
(x) the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default and (y) the
delivery of a written notice from the Collateral Agent of its intent to exercise
its rights under this Section 5.04(b) (unless the Collateral Agent is
prohibited by law to give such notice in which case such written notice shall
not be required for termination of the Obligors’ rights hereunder). In
furtherance of the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing and the Obligors’ rights under this Section 5.04(b)(ii)
have not been terminated, the Collateral Agent shall from time to time, upon
the
request of any Obligor, execute and deliver any instruments, certificates or
other documents, in the form so requested, that such Obligor shall have
certified are appropriate in its judgment to allow it to take any action
permitted above (including relinquishment of the license provided pursuant
to
clause (i) immediately above as to any specific Intellectual Property).
Further, upon the payment in full of all of the Secured Obligations and
cancellation or termination of the Commitments and LC Exposure or earlier
expiration of this Agreement or release of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent
shall grant back to the Obligors the license granted pursuant to clause (i)
immediately above. The exercise of rights and remedies under Section 5.05
by the Collateral Agent shall not terminate the rights of the holders of any
licenses or sublicenses theretofore granted by the Obligors in accordance with
the first sentence of this clause (ii).
-13-
(c) Chattel
Paper.
Subject
to Section 5.01(h), each Obligor will (1) deliver to the Collateral
Agent each original of each item of Chattel Paper having an individual principal
amount equal to or in excess of $500,000 at any time constituting part of the
Collateral, and (2) cause each such original and each copy thereof to bear
a conspicuous legend, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent, indicating that such Chattel Paper is subject to the security
interest granted hereby and that purchase of such Chattel Paper by a Person
other than the Collateral Agent without the consent of the Collateral Agent
would violate the rights of the Collateral Agent.
5.05 Remedies.
(a) Rights
and Remedies Generally upon Default.
If an
Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent
shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral of
a
collateral agent under the NYUCC (whether or not the Uniform Commercial Code
is
in effect in the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted) and
such additional rights and remedies to which the Collateral Agent is entitled
under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights and remedies
hereunder may be asserted, including the right, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership
pertaining to the Collateral as if the Collateral Agent were the sole and
absolute owner thereof (and each Obligor agrees to take all such action as
may
be appropriate to give effect to such right); and without limiting the
foregoing:
(i) the
Collateral Agent in its discretion may, in its name or in the name of any
Obligor or otherwise, demand, xxx for, collect or receive any money or other
property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for
any
of the Collateral, but shall be under no obligation to do so;
(ii) the
Collateral Agent may make any reasonable compromise or settlement deemed
desirable with respect to any of the Collateral and may extend the time of
payment, arrange for payment in installments, or otherwise modify the terms
of,
any of the Collateral;
(iii) the
Collateral Agent may require each Obligor to notify (and each Obligor hereby
authorizes the Collateral Agent, upon prior written notice to such Obligor,
provided that if Collateral Agent is prevented from giving such notice by law
no
such notice shall be necessary, so to notify) each account debtor in respect
of
any Account, Chattel Paper or General Intangible, and each obligor on any
Instrument, constituting part of the Collateral that such Collateral has been
assigned to the Collateral Agent hereunder, and to instruct that any payments
due or to become due in respect of such Collateral shall be made directly to
the
Collateral Agent or as it may direct (and if any such payments, or any other
Proceeds of Collateral, are received by any Obligor they shall be held in trust
by such Obligor for the Collateral Agent and as promptly as possible remitted
or
delivered to the Collateral Agent for application as provided
herein);
-14-
(iv) the
Collateral Agent may require any Obligor to assemble the Collateral at such
place or places, reasonably convenient to the Collateral Agent and such Obligor,
as the Collateral Agent may direct;
(v) the
Collateral Agent may apply the Collateral Account and any money or other
property therein to payment of the Secured Obligations;
(vi) the
Collateral Agent may require any Obligor to cause the Pledged Shares to be
transferred of record into the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee
(and
the Collateral Agent agrees that if any of such Pledged Shares is transferred
into its name or the name of its nominee, the Collateral Agent will thereafter
promptly give to such Obligor copies of any notices and communications received
by it with respect to such Pledged Shares); and
(vii) the
Collateral Agent may sell, lease, assign or otherwise dispose of all or any
part
of such Collateral, at such place or places as the Collateral Agent deems best,
and for cash or for credit or for future delivery (without thereby assuming
any
credit risk), at public or private sale, without demand of performance or notice
of intention to effect any such disposition or of the time or place thereof
(except such notice as is required above or by applicable statute and cannot
be
waived), and the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Creditor or anyone else
may be the purchaser, lessee, assignee or recipient of any or all of the
Collateral so disposed of at any public sale (or, to the extent permitted by
law, at any private sale) and thereafter hold the same absolutely, free from
any
claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any right or equity of redemption
(statutory or otherwise), of any Obligor, any such demand, notice and right
or
equity being hereby expressly waived and released. In the event of any sale,
assignment, or other disposition of any of the Trademark Collateral, the
goodwill connected with and symbolized by the Trademark Collateral subject
to
such disposition shall be included. The Collateral Agent may, without notice
or
publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be
adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for
the
sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the sale may
be so
adjourned.
The
Proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this
Section 5.05, including by virtue of the exercise of any license granted to
the Collateral Agent in Section 5.04(b), shall be applied in accordance
with Section 5.09.
(b) Certain
Securities Act Limitations.
Each
Obligor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws, the
Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part
of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other
things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and
not
with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Obligor acknowledges
that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to
the
Collateral Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such
restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such
private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable
manner and that
-15-
the
Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no
obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary
to permit the issuer thereof to register it for public sale.
(c) Notice.
Each
Obligor agrees that to the extent the Collateral Agent is required by applicable
law to give reasonable prior notice of any sale or other disposition of any
Collateral, ten Business Days’ notice shall be deemed to constitute reasonable
prior notice.
5.06 Deficiency.
If the
proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Collateral
pursuant to Section 5.05 are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses
of such realization and the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, the
Obligors, jointly and severally, shall remain liable for any
deficiency.
5.07 Locations;
Names.
Without
at least 7 days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Agent, no Obligor
shall (i) change its location (as defined in Section 9-307 of the
NYUCC), (ii) change its name from the name shown as its current legal name
on Annex 1 or (iii) agree to or authorize any modification of the
terms of any item of Collateral that would result in a change thereof from
one
Uniform Commercial Code category to another such category (such as from a
General Intangible to Investment Property) if such resulting change would
invalidate the Collateral Agent’s perfection of its security interest in such
item of Collateral.
5.08 Private
Sale.
The
Secured Creditors shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the
Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to
Section 5.05 conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. Each Obligor
hereby waives any claims against the Secured Creditors arising by reason of
the
fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private
sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale
or
was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if the
Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the
Collateral to more than one offeree.
5.09 Application
of Proceeds.
Except
as otherwise herein expressly provided and except as provided below in this
Section 5.09, the Proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of
all or any part of the Collateral pursuant hereto, and any other cash at the
time held by the Collateral Agent under Section 4 or this Section 5,
shall be applied by the Collateral Agent:
First,
to the
payment of the costs and expenses of such collection, sale or other realization,
including out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent and the
fees
and expenses of its agents and counsel, and all expenses incurred and advances
made by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith;
Next,
to the
payment in full of the Secured Obligations, in each case equally and ratably
in
accordance with the respective amounts thereof then due and owing or as the
Lenders or any other holders of the Other Pari Passu Obligations holding the
same may otherwise agree; and
-16-
Finally,
to the
payment to the Obligors, or their successors or assigns, or as a court of
competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the proceeds of any cash or other amounts held in the
“LC Exposure Sub-Account” of the Collateral Account pursuant to
Section 4.04 shall be applied first
to the
LC Exposure outstanding from time to time and second
to the
other Secured Obligations in the manner provided above in this
Section 5.09.
5.10 Attorney-in-Fact.
Without
limiting any rights or powers granted by this Agreement to the Collateral Agent
while no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of any Event of Default the Collateral Agent is
hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact of the Obligors for the purpose of
carrying out the provisions of this Section 5 and taking any action and
executing any instruments that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or
advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as
attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, so long as the Collateral Agent shall be
entitled under this Section 5 to make collections in respect of the
Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall have the right and power to receive,
endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of any Obligor
representing any dividend, payment or other distribution in respect of the
Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the
same.
5.11
Perfection
and Recordation.
Prior to
or concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Obligor
shall:
(a) file
such
financing statements and other documents in such offices as the Collateral
Agent
may request to perfect the security interests granted by Section 3 of this
Agreement,
(b) deliver
to
the Collateral Agent all certificates evidencing any of the Pledged Shares,
accompanied by undated stock or other powers duly executed in
blank,
(c) deliver
the originals of any of the promissory notes referred to in
Section 3,
(d) cause
each
Issuer (other than an Issuer the ownership interests in which are evidenced
by
certificates) to agree that it will comply with instructions regarding
perfection and recordation originated by the Collateral Agent, and
(e) execute,
deliver and record such short form security agreements relating to Collateral
consisting of the Intellectual Property as the Collateral Agent may reasonably
request.
Each
Obligor authorizes the Collateral Agent to file Uniform Commercial Code
financing statements describing the Collateral as “all assets” or “all personal
property and fixtures” of such Obligor (provided that no such description shall
be deemed to modify the description of Collateral set forth in
Section 3).
-17-
5.12 Termination.
When all
Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Commitments of the
Lenders under the Credit Agreement and all LC Exposure shall have expired
or been terminated or cash collateralized pursuant to a written agreement
reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent, this Agreement and the Lien
and
security interest created hereunder shall automatically terminate, and the
Collateral Agent shall forthwith cause to be assigned, transferred and
delivered, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation
whatsoever, any remaining Collateral and money received in respect thereof,
to
or on the order of any Obligor and to be released and canceled all licenses
and
rights referred to in Section 5.04(b). The Lien and security interest
created hereunder shall automatically terminate and be released with respect
to
any Collateral or any Obligor that is sold as part of or in connection with
any
disposition permitted under Section 7.03 of the Credit Agreement. The
Collateral Agent shall also, at the expense of the Obligors, execute and deliver
to the Obligors upon such termination such Uniform Commercial Code termination
statements, certificates for terminating the Liens on the Motor Vehicles and
such other documentation as shall be reasonably requested by the Obligors to
effect the termination and release of the Liens on the Collateral as required
by
this Section 5.12.
5.13 Further
Assurances.
Each
Obligor agrees that, from time to time upon the written request of the
Collateral Agent, such Obligor will execute and deliver such further documents
and do such other acts and things as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request
in order fully to effect the purposes of this Agreement. The Collateral Agent
shall release any Lien covering any asset that has been disposed of in a
transaction not prohibited by the Credit Agreement or that has been disposed
of
with the consent of the Required Lenders under the Credit
Agreement.
Section 6.
Miscellaneous.
6.01 Notices.
All
notices, requests, consents and demands hereunder shall be in writing and
telecopied or delivered to the intended recipient at its “Address for Notices”
specified pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement and shall be
deemed to have been given at the times specified in said
Section 10.01.
6.02 No
Waiver.
No
failure on the part of any Secured Creditor to exercise, and no course of
dealing with respect to, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise by any Secured Creditor of any right, power or remedy hereunder
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power or remedy. The remedies herein are cumulative and are not exclusive
of any remedies provided by law.
6.03 Amendments,
Etc.
The
terms of this Agreement may be waived, altered or amended only by an instrument
in writing duly executed by the Obligors and the Collateral Agent (with the
consent of the Lenders or Required Lenders as specified in Article X of the
Credit Agreement). Any such amendment or waiver shall be binding upon the
Secured Creditors and the Obligors.
-18-
6.04 Expenses.
The
Obligors, jointly and severally, agree to reimburse each of the Secured
Creditors for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by them (including
the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel) in connection with
(i) any Event of Default and any enforcement or collection proceeding
resulting therefrom, including all manner of participation in or other
involvement with (w) performance by the Collateral Agent of any obligations
of any Obligor in respect of the Collateral that such Obligor has failed or
refused to perform, (x) bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, foreclosure,
winding up or liquidation proceedings, or any actual or attempted sale, or
any
exchange, enforcement, collection, compromise or settlement in respect of any
of
the Collateral, and for the care of the Collateral and defending or asserting
rights and claims of the Collateral Agent in respect thereof, by litigation
or
otherwise, including expenses of insurance, (y) judicial or regulatory
proceedings and (z) workout, restructuring or other negotiations or
proceedings (whether or not the workout, restructuring or transaction
contemplated thereby is consummated) and (ii) the enforcement of this
Section 6.04, and all such costs and expenses shall be Secured Obligations
entitled to the benefits of the collateral security provided pursuant to
Section 3.
6.05 Successors
and Assigns.
This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective
successors and assigns of the Obligors and the Secured Creditors (provided
that,
except in connection with a transaction permitted by Section 10.04(a) of
the Credit Agreement, no Obligor shall assign or transfer its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Collateral
Agent).
6.06 Counterparts.

Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken
together shall constitute one and the same instrument and any of the parties

the
fullest extent permitted by law, (a) the other provisions hereof shall
