promptly upon request of the Company, make appropriate arrangements for making
any other Instrument pledged by the Company available to it for purposes of

extent deemed appropriate by the Purchaser, against trust receipt or like
document);
 
c. 
give, execute, deliver, file and/or record any financing statement, notice,

9

 
 
(2) 
So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Company shall have the right to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers
of ownership pertaining to the Stock Collateral for all purposes not
inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the Notes
or any other instrument or agreement referred to herein or therein, provided
that the Company agrees that it will not vote the Stock Collateral in any manner
that is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement,
the Notes or any such other instrument or agreement; and the Purchaser shall
execute and deliver to the Company or cause to be executed and delivered to the
Company all such proxies, powers of attorney, dividend and other orders, and all

(3) 
Unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company
shall be entitled to receive and retain any dividends on the Stock Collateral

right to declare any Secured Obligations due and payable or seeks or pursues any
other relief or remedy available to it under applicable law or under this
Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the Notes or any other agreement relating to
such Secured Obligations, all dividends and other distributions on the Stock

to the Purchaser appropriate additional dividend, distribution and other orders
and documents to that end, provided that if such Event of Default is cured, any

Obligations) be returned by the Purchaser to the Company.

(1) 
For the purpose of enabling the Purchaser to exercise rights and remedies under
Section 4.05 hereof at such time as the Purchaser shall be lawfully entitled to
exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, the Company hereby
grants to the Purchaser, to the extent assignable, an irrevocable, non-exclusive
license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the
Company) to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property
(other than the Trademark Collateral or goodwill associated therewith) now owned
or hereafter acquired by the Company, 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

10

 
 
(2) 
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, so long as no Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and following notice by the
Purchaser of the termination of Company’s rights with respect thereto, the
Company 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 the Company. In furtherance
of the foregoing, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and is
continuing, the Purchaser shall from time to time, upon the request of the
Company, execute and deliver any instruments, certificates or other documents,
in the form so requested, which the Company 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 (1) immediately above
as to any specific Intellectual Property). Further, upon the payment in full of
all of the Secured Obligations or earlier expiration of this Agreement or
release of the Collateral, the Purchaser shall grant back to the Company the
license granted pursuant to clause (1) immediately above. The exercise of rights
and remedies under Section 4.05 hereof by the Purchaser shall not terminate the
rights of the holders of any licenses or sublicenses theretofore granted by the
Company in accordance with the first sentence of this clause (2).
 
4.05       Events of Default, etc. During the period during which an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
 
a. 
the Company shall, at the request of the Purchaser, assemble the Collateral
owned by it at such place or places, reasonably convenient to both the Purchaser
and the Company, designated in its request;
 
b. 
the Purchaser 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;
 
c. 
the Purchaser shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect to the
Collateral of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (whether or not
said Code is in effect in the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are
asserted) and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured party is
entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights and
remedies hereunder may be asserted, including, without limitation, the right, to
the maximum extent permitted by law, to exercise all voting, consensual and
other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if the Purchaser were
the sole and absolute owner thereof (and the Company agrees to take all such
action as may be appropriate to give effect to such right);
 
 
 
11

 
 
d. 
the Purchaser in its discretion may, in its name or in the name of the Company
or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or 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; and
 
e. 
the Purchaser may, upon 10 Business Days, prior written notice to the Company of
the time and place, with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof which
shall then be or shall thereafter come into the possession, custody or control
of the Purchaser, or any of its respective Purchasers, sell, lease, assign or
otherwise dispose of all or any of such Collateral, at such place or places as
the Purchaser deems best, and for cash or on 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 time or place thereof (except such notice as is required above or by
applicable statute and cannot be waived) and the Purchaser 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 the Company, any such demand, notice or right and 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 of the
Business connected with and symbolized by the Trademark Collateral subject to
such disposition shall be included, and the Company shall supply to the
Purchaser or its designee, for inclusion in such sale, assignment or other
disposition, all Intellectual Property relating to such Trademark Collateral.
The Purchaser 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 same may be so adjourned.
 
The proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this Section
4.05, including by virtue of the exercise of the license granted to the
Purchaser in Section 4.04(b)(1) hereof, shall be applied in accordance with
Section 4.09 hereof.
 
The Company recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws, the
Purchaser 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. The Company acknowledges that any such
private sales to an unrelated third party in an arm’s length transaction may be
at prices and on terms less favorable to the Purchaser 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 the Purchaser shall have no
obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any

thereof to register it for public sale.

4.06           Deficiency. If the proceeds of sale, collection or other
realization of or upon the Collateral pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof are
insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the payment
in full of the Secured Obligations, the Company shall remain liable for any
deficiency.
 
4.07           Removals, etc. Without at least 30 days’ prior written notice to
the Purchaser or unless otherwise required by law, the Company shall not (i)

at any place, or permit any Inventory or Equipment to be located anywhere other

of the sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale to an
unrelated third party in an arm’s length transaction pursuant to Section 4.05
hereof conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. The Company hereby waives
any claims against the Purchaser 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 which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the
aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if the Purchaser accepts the
first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree.
 
4.09           Application of Proceeds. Except as otherwise herein expressly
provided, 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 Purchaser under this Section 4, shall be applied by the Purchaser:
 
First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such collection, sale or
other realization, including reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the
Purchaser and the fees and expenses of its Purchasers and counsel, and all
expenses, and advances made or incurred by the Purchaser 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 to
each of the Purchasers; and
 
Finally, to the payment to the Company, or its successors or assigns, or as a
court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining.
 
As used in this Section 4, “proceeds” of Collateral shall mean cash, securities
and other property realized in respect of, and distributions in kind of,
Collateral, including any thereof received under any reorganization, liquidation
or adjustment of debt of the Company or any issuer of or obligor on any of the
Collateral.

action and executing any instruments which the Purchaser 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 Purchasers shall be entitled
under this Section 4 to make collections in respect of the Collateral, the
Purchaser shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all
checks made payable to the order of the Company representing any dividend,
payment, or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof
and to give full discharge for the same.

full under the Purchase Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate, and the
Purchaser 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 the Company and to be released and cancelled all licenses and rights
referred to in Section 4.04(b)(1) hereof. The Purchaser shall also execute and
deliver to the Company 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
Company to effect the termination and release of the Liens on the Collateral.
 
4.13           Expenses. The Company agrees to pay to the Purchaser all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable expenses for legal
services of every kind) of, or incident to, the enforcement of any of the
provisions of this Section 4, or performance by the Purchaser of any obligations
of the Company in respect of the Collateral which the Company has failed or
refused to perform upon reasonable notice, 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 Purchaser in respect thereof, by litigation

covenants and agrees to reimburse, indemnify and hold the Purchaser harmless
from and against any and all claims, actions, judgments, damages, losses,
liabilities, costs, transfer or other taxes, and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred or suffered
without any gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct by the Purchaser,
arising out of or incident to any investigation, proceeding or litigation
arising out of this Agreement or the administration of the Purchaser’s duties
hereunder, or resulting from its actions or inactions as Purchaser.
 
Section 5.  Miscellaneous.
 
5.01           No Waiver. No failure on the part of the Purchaser or any of its
Purchasers 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
