--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(b)Perfection of Security Interest. Execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent
such agreements, assignments or instruments (including affidavits, notices,
reaffirmations and amendments and restatements of existing documents, as the
Collateral Agent may reasonably request) and do all such other things as the
Collateral Agent may reasonably deem necessary, appropriate or convenient (i) to
assure to the Collateral Agent the effectiveness and priority of its security
interests hereunder, including (A) filing or authorizing the Collateral Agent to
file such financing statements (including renewal statements), amendments and
supplements or such other instruments as the Collateral Agent may from time to
time reasonably request in order to perfect and maintain the security interests
granted hereunder in accordance with the UCC, (B) with regard to

material Copyrights, executing and delivering a Notice of Grant of Security
Interest in Copyrights for filing with the United States Copyright Office in the
form of Exhibit 5(b)-1 attached hereto, (C) with

without such Grantor’s

signature thereon, and further each Grantor also hereby irrevocably makes,

perfect and maintain perfection of the

security interests granted hereunder, such power, being coupled with an
interest, being and remaining irrevocable so long as the Secured Obligations
remain unpaid and until the commitments relating

thereto shall have been terminated. In the event for any reason the Law of any
U.S. jurisdiction other than the State of New York becomes or is applicable to
the Collateral of any Grantor or any part

thereof, or to any of the Secured Obligations, such Grantor agrees to execute
and deliver all such instruments and to do all such other things as the
Collateral Agent in its sole discretion reasonably deems necessary, appropriate
or convenient to preserve, protect and enforce the security interests of

the Collateral Agent under the Law of such other U.S. jurisdiction (and, if a
Grantor shall fail to do

infringement of any material Copyright of a Grantor of which it becomes aware

claim of abandonment for non- use, (B) maintain as in the past the quality of
products and services offered under such Trademark, (C) employ such Trademark

thereof to) knowingly do any act or omit to do any act whereby any material

registration relating to any material Patent or Trademark may become abandoned
or dedicated to the public (other than pursuant to the natural terms thereof),
or of any materially adverse determination or development (including the
institution of, or any such

determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and
Trademark

Office other than routine prosecution matters) regarding a Grantor’s ownership
of any material Patent or Trademark or its right to register the same or to keep
and maintain the same.

 

(iv)Take such actions as it shall reasonably deem appropriate under the
circumstances , including in any proceeding before the United States Patent and

or Trademark included in the Collateral is materially infringed, misappropriated

6.Advances by Holders of the Secured Obligations. On failure of any Grantor to
perform any of the covenants and agreements contained herein, the Collateral

advisable in the performance thereof, including the payment of any insurance
premiums, the payment of any taxes, a payment to obtain a release of a Lien or
potential Lien, expenditures made in defending against any adverse claim and all
other expenditures that the Collateral Agent may make for the protection of the
security hereof or may be compelled to make by operation of Law. All such sums
and amounts so expended shall be repayable by the Grantors on a joint and
several basis promptly upon timely notice thereof and demand therefor, shall
constitute additional Secured Obligations and shall, subject to Section 2.08 of
the Credit Agreement, bear interest from the date said amounts are expended at
the rate then applicable to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans. No such
performance of any covenant or agreement by the Collateral Agent on behalf of
any Grantor, and no such advance or expenditure therefor, shall relieve the
Grantors of any default under the terms of this Security Agreement, the other
Loan Documents or any other documents relating to the Secured Obligations. The
Collateral Agent may make any payment hereby authorized in accordance with any
bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or
holder of the claim to be discharged without inquiry into the accuracy of such
bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax assessment, sale,
forfeiture, tax lien, title or claim except to the extent such

payment is being contested in good faith by a Grantor in appropriate proceedings
and against which adequate reserves are being maintained in accordance with
GAAP.

 

7.Events of Default. The occurrence of an event that would constitute an Event
of Default under the Credit Agreement shall be an Event of Default hereunder (an
“Event of Default”).

 

8.Remedies.

 

(a)General Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the
continuation thereof, the Collateral Agent and the holders of the Secured
Obligations shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies provided herein,
in the Loan Documents, in any other documents relating to the Secured
Obligations, or by Law (including levy of attachment and garnishment), the
rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of the jurisdiction
applicable to the affected Collateral and, further, the Collateral Agent may,
with or without judicial process or the aid and assistance of others, (i) enter
on any premises on which any of the Collateral may be located and, without
resistance or interference by the Grantors, take possession of the Collateral,
(ii) dispose of any Collateral on any such premises, (iii) require the Grantors
to assemble and make available to the Collateral Agent at the expense of the
Grantors any Collateral at any place and time designated by the Collateral Agent

and deliver any or all Collateral held by or for it at public or private sale,
by one or more contracts, in one or more parcels, for cash, upon credit or
otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as the

Collateral Agent deems advisable, in its sole discretion (subject to any and all
mandatory legal

requirements). Each of the Grantors acknowledges that any private sale
referenced above may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the seller than
the prices and terms that might have been

 

8

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

obtained at a public sale and waives any claims against the Collateral Agent
arising by reason that any such private sale shall not have been made in a
commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent’s disclaimer of warranties
relating to the Collateral shall not be considered to adversely affect the
commercial reasonableness of any sale. In addition to all other sums due the
Collateral Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations with respect to the
Secured Obligations, the Grantors shall pay the Collateral Agent and each of the
holders of the Secured Obligations all reasonable documented costs and expenses
incurred by the Collateral Agent or any such holder of the Secured Obligations
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) in obtaining
or liquidating the Collateral, in enforcing payment of the Secured Obligations,
or in the prosecution or defense of any action or proceeding by or against the
Collateral Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations or the Grantors
concerning any matter arising out of or connected with this Security Agreement,
any Collateral or the Secured Obligations, including any of the foregoing
arising in, arising under or related to a case under Debtor Relief Laws. To the
extent the rights of notice cannot be legally waived hereunder, each Grantor
agrees that any requirement of reasonable

notice shall be met if such notice is personally served on or mailed, postage
prepaid, to the Borrower in accordance with the notice provisions of Section
11.02 of the Credit Agreement at least ten (10) Business Days before the time of
sale or other event giving rise to the requirement of such notice. The
Collateral Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations shall not be
obligated to make any sale or other disposition of the Collateral regardless of
notice having been given. To the extent permitted by Law, any holder of the
Secured Obligations may be a purchaser at any such sale. To the extent permitted
by applicable Law, each of the Grantors hereby waives all of its rights of

redemption with respect to any such sale. Subject to the provisions of
applicable Law, the Collateral Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations
may postpone or cause the postponement of the sale of all or any portion of the
Collateral by announcement at the time and place of such sale, and such sale
may, without further notice, to the extent permitted by Law, be made at the time
and place to which the sale was postponed, or the Collateral Agent and the
holders of the Secured Obligations may further postpone such sale by
announcement made at such time and place.

 

(b)Remedies relating to Accounts. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and
during the continuation thereof, whether or not the Collateral Agent has
exercised any or all of its rights and remedies hereunder, each Grantor will
promptly upon request of the Collateral Agent instruct all account debtors to
remit all payments in respect of Accounts to a mailing location

selected by the Collateral Agent. In addition, the Collateral Agent shall have
the right to enforce any

Grantor’s rights against its customers and account debtors, and the Collateral
Agent or its designee may notify any Grantor’s customers and account debtors
that the Accounts of such Grantor have

been assigned to the Collateral Agent or of the Collateral Agent’s security
interest therein, and may

(either in its own name or in the name of a Grantor or both) demand, collect
(including by way of a lockbox arrangement), receive, take receipt for, sell,
sue for, compound, settle, compromise and give acquittance for any and all
amounts due or to become due on any Account, and, in the Collateral Agent’s
discretion, file any claim or take any other action or proceeding to protect and
realize upon the security interest of the holders of the Secured Obligations in
the Accounts. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that the Proceeds of its
Accounts remitted to or on behalf of the Collateral Agent in accordance with the
provisions hereof shall be solely for the Collateral Agent’s own convenience and
that such Grantor shall not have any right, title or interest in such Accounts
or in

any such other amounts except as expressly provided herein. The Collateral Agent
and the holders of the Secured Obligations shall have no liability or
responsibility to any Grantor for acceptance of a

check, draft or other order for payment of money bearing the legend “payment in
full” or words of similar import or any other restrictive legend or endorsement
or be responsible for determining the

correctness of any remittance. Each Grantor hereby agrees to indemnify the
Collateral Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations from and against all
liabilities, damages, losses, actions, claims, judgments, costs, expenses and
charges, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, suffered

or incurred by the Collateral Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations
(each, an “Indemnified

 

9

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Party”) because of the maintenance of the foregoing arrangements except as
relating to or arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an
Indemnified Party or its officers, employees or agents. In the case of any
investigation, litigation or other proceeding, the foregoing indemnity shall be
effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought
by a Grantor, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party
or any other Person or any other Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto.
All amounts due under this subsection shall be payable within ten (10) Business
Days after demand therefor.

 

(c)Access. In addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, upon the occurrence
of an

Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, the Collateral Agent shall
have the right to enter and remain upon the various premises of the Grantors
without cost or charge to the Collateral Agent, and use the same, together with
materials, supplies, books and records of the Grantors for the purpose of
collecting and liquidating the Collateral, or for preparing for sale and
conducting the sale of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure, auction or
otherwise. In addition, the Collateral Agent may remove Collateral, or any part
thereof, from such premises and/or any records with respect thereto, in order to
effectively collect or liquidate such Collateral.

 

(d)Nonexclusive Nature of Remedies. Failure by the Collateral Agent or the
holders of the Secured Obligations to exercise any right, remedy or option under
this Security Agreement, any other Loan Document, any other documents relating
to the Secured Obligations, or as provided by Law, or any delay by the
Collateral Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations in exercising the
same, shall not operate as a waiver of any such right, remedy or option. No
waiver hereunder shall

be effective unless it is in writing, signed by the party against whom such
waiver is sought to be enforced and then only to the extent specifically stated,
which in the case of the Collateral Agent or

the holders of the Secured Obligations shall only be granted as provided herein.
To the extent permitted by Law, neither the Collateral Agent, the holders of the
Secured Obligations, nor any party

acting as attorney for the Collateral Agent or the holders of the Secured
Obligations, shall be liable hereunder for any acts or omissions or for any
error of judgment or mistake of fact or Law other than their gross negligence or
willful misconduct hereunder. The rights and remedies of the Collateral

Agents and the holders of the Secured Obligations under this Security Agreement
shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy that the
Collateral Agent or the holders of

the Secured Obligations may have.

 

(e)Retention of Collateral. To the extent permitted under applicable Law, in
addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, upon the occurrence and
continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may, after providing
the notices required by Sections 9-620 and 9-621 of the UCC or otherwise
complying with the requirements of applicable Law of the relevant jurisdiction,
accept or retain all or any portion of the Collateral in satisfaction of the
Secured Obligations. Unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have provided
such notices, however, the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have accepted
or retained any Collateral in satisfaction of any Secured Obligations for any
reason.

 

(f)Deficiency. In the event that the proceeds of any sale, collection or
realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Collateral Agent or
the holders of the Secured Obligations are legally entitled, the Grantors shall
be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency (subject to Section 25
hereof), together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, together with the
costs of collection and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. Any surplus
remaining after the full payment and satisfaction of the Secured Obligations
shall be returned to the Grantors or to whomsoever a court of competent
jurisdiction shall determine to be entitled thereto.

 

9.Release of Collateral. Upon request, the Collateral Agent shall promptly
deliver to the applicable Grantor (at such Grantor’s expense) appropriate
release documentation to the extent the release of

 

10

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Collateral is permitted under, and on the terms and conditions set forth in, the
Credit Agreement; provided that any such release, or the substitution of any of
the Collateral for other Collateral, will not alter, vary or diminish in any way
the force, effect, lien, pledge or security interest of this Security Agreement
as to any and all Collateral not expressly released or substituted, and this
Security Agreement shall continue as a first priority lien (subject to Permitted
Liens) on any and all Collateral not expressly released or substituted.

 

10.Rights of the Collateral Agent.

 

(a)Power of Attorney. In addition to other powers of attorney contained herein,
each Grantor hereby designates and appoints the Collateral Agent, on behalf of
the holders of the Secured Obligations, and each of its designees or agents, as
attorney-in-fact of such Grantor, irrevocably and with power of substitution,
with authority to take any or all of the following actions upon the occurrence
and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

 

(i)to demand, collect, settle, compromise and adjust, and give discharges and
releases concerning the Collateral, all as the Collateral Agent may reasonably
deem appropriate;

 

(ii)to commence and prosecute any actions at any court for the purposes of
collecting any of the Collateral and enforcing any other right in respect
thereof;

 

(iii)to defend, settle or compromise any action brought and, in connection
therewith, give such discharge or release as the Collateral Agent may reasonably
deem appropriate;

 

(iv)to receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to a Grantor and endorse
checks, notes, drafts, acceptances, money orders, bills of lading, warehouse
receipts or other instruments or documents evidencing payment, shipment or
storage of the Goods giving rise to the Collateral on behalf of and in the name
of such Grantor, or securing, or relating to such Collateral;

 

(v)to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances
levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral;

 

(vi)to direct any parties liable for any payment in connection with any of the
Collateral to make payment of any and all monies due and to become due
thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall
direct;

 

(vii)to receive payment of and receipt for any and all monies, claims, and other
amounts due and to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any
Collateral;

 

(viii)to sell, assign, transfer, make any agreement in respect of, or otherwise
deal with or exercise rights in respect of, any Collateral or the Goods or
services that have given rise thereto, as fully and completely as though the
Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes;

 

 

 

thereto;

(ix)to adjust and settle claims under any insurance policy relating

 

11

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(x)to execute and deliver all assignments, conveyances, statements, financing
statements, renewal financing statements, security and pledge agreements,
affidavits, notices and other agreements, instruments and documents that the
Collateral Agent may reasonably deem appropriate in order to perfect and
maintain the security interests and liens granted in this Security Agreement and
in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated therein;

 

(xi)to institute any foreclosure proceedings that the Collateral Agent may
reasonably deem appropriate; and

 

(xii)to do and perform all such other acts and things as the Collateral Agent
may reasonably deem appropriate or convenient in connection with the Collateral.

 

This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be
irrevocable for so long as any of the Secured Obligations shall remain
outstanding and until all of the commitments relating thereto shall have been
terminated. The Collateral Agent shall be under no duty to exercise or withhold
the exercise of any of the rights, powers, privileges and options expressly or
implicitly granted to the Collateral Agent in this Security Agreement, and shall
not be liable for any failure to

do so or any delay in doing so. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any
act or omission or for any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or Law in
its individual capacity or its capacity as attorney-in-fact except acts or
omissions resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct. This power
of attorney is conferred on the Collateral Agent solely to protect, preserve and
realize upon its security interest in the Collateral.

 

(b)Performance by the Collateral Agent of Obligations. If any Grantor fails to
perform any agreement or obligation contained herein, the Collateral Agent
itself may perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, and
the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be
payable by the Grantors on a joint and several basis (subject to Section

25 hereof).

 

(c)Assignment by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may assign the
Secured Obligations and any portion thereof and/or the Pledged Collateral and
any portion thereof to a successor collateral agent appointed pursuant to
Section 10.06 of the Credit Agreement, and the assignee shall be entitled to all
of the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent under this Pledge Agreement
in relation thereto.

 

(d)The Collateral Agent’s Duty of Care. Other than the exercise of reasonable
care to assure the safe custody of the Collateral while being held by the
Collateral Agent hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability
to preserve rights pertaining thereto, it being understood and agreed that the
Grantors shall be responsible for preservation of all rights in the Collateral,
and the Collateral Agent shall be relieved of all responsibility for the
Collateral upon surrendering it or tendering the surrender of it to the
Grantors. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care
in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if such
Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the
Collateral Agent accords

its own property, which shall be no less than the treatment employed by a
reasonable and prudent agent in the industry, it being understood that the
Collateral Agent shall not have responsibility for

taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect
to any of the Collateral.

In the event of a public or private sale of Collateral pursuant to Section 8
hereof, the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to clean, repair or
otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

11.Rights of Required Lenders. All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, if
not exercised by the Collateral Agent, may be exercised by the Required Lenders.

 

12.Application of Proceeds. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of
an Event of Default, any payments in respect of the Secured Obligations and any
proceeds of the Collateral, when received by the Collateral Agent or any of the
holders of the Secured Obligations in cash or its equivalent, will be applied in
reduction of the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in Section 9.03 of
the Credit Agreement as though the word “Obligations” therein were deleted and
replaced with the phrase “Secured Obligations,” and each Grantor irrevocably
waives the right to direct the application of such payments and

proceeds and acknowledges and agrees that the Collateral Agent shall have the
continuing and exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all such payments
and proceeds in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion, notwithstanding any
entry to the contrary upon any of its books and records.

 

13.Costs of Counsel. At all times hereafter, whether or not upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default, the Grantors agree to promptly pay upon demand any and
all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses) of the Collateral Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations (a)
as required under Section 11.04 of the Credit Agreement and (b) as necessary to
protect the Collateral or to exercise any rights or remedies under this Security
Agreement or with respect to any of the Collateral. All of the foregoing costs
and expenses shall constitute Secured Obligations hereunder.

 

14.Continuing Agreement.

 

(a)This Security Agreement shall be a continuing agreement in every respect and
shall remain in full force and effect so long as any of the Secured Obligations
remains outstanding (other than contingent indemnity obligations that are not
yet due and payable) and until all of the commitments relating thereto have been
terminated. Upon such payment and termination, this Security Agreement shall be
automatically terminated and the Collateral Agent shall, upon the request and at
the expense of the Grantors, forthwith release all of its liens and security
interests hereunder and shall execute and deliver all UCC termination statements
and/or other documents reasonably requested by the Grantors evidencing such
termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all indemnities provided hereunder
shall survive termination of this Security Agreement.

 

(b)This Security Agreement shall continue to be effective or be automatically
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, in whole or in part, of
any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or
returned by the Collateral Agent or any holder of the Secured Obligations as a
preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise under any bankruptcy, insolvency
or similar Law, all as though such payment had not been made; provided that in
the event payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or
must be restored or returned, all reasonable costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Collateral Agent or any
holder of the Secured Obligations in defending and enforcing such reinstatement
shall be deemed to be included as a part of the Secured Obligations.

 

15.Amendments and Waivers. This Security Agreement and the provisions hereof may
not be amended, waived, modified, changed, discharged or terminated except as
set forth in Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any update or
revision to Schedule 2(d) hereof shall not constitute an amendment for purposes
of this Section 15 or Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement.

 

16.Successors in Interest. This Security Agreement shall create a continuing
security interest in the Collateral and shall be binding upon each Grantor, its
successors and assigns, and shall inure, together with the rights and remedies
of the Collateral Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations hereunder, to
the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations
and their successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that none of the
Grantors may assign its rights or delegate its duties

and securities owned by a Grantor), or by a guarantee, endorsement or property
of any other Person, then the Collateral Agent shall have the right to proceed
