6 

 

(b) Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary
notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor (other than the Parent
Borrower) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall in no event exceed
the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal
and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the
right of contribution established in Section 2.2).

 

(c) Each Guarantor agrees that the Primary Obligations of the Loan Parties may
at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such
Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Article II
or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender
hereunder.

 

(d) The guarantee contained in this Article II shall remain in full force and
effect until all the Primary Obligations of the Loan Parties (other than (x)
indemnification or reimbursement obligations under Section 2.18, 2.19(a),
2.19(d) or 2.20 for which the applicable Borrower has not been notified and

(e) No payment made by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person or
received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from any
Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person by virtue of any action or
proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from
time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Primary Obligations shall be
deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any
Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than
any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Primary Obligations of the
Loan Parties or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect
of the Primary Obligations of the Loan Parties), remain liable for the Primary
Obligations of the Loan Parties up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor
hereunder until the Discharge of Obligations.

 

2.2               Right of Contribution. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees
that to the extent that a Subsidiary Guarantor shall have paid more than its
proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Subsidiary Guarantor
shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other
Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of
such payment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject

respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, in each case, until the
Discharge of Obligations. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on
account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the Discharge of
Obligations, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other

funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be
turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such
Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if
required), to be applied against the Primary Obligations of the Loan Parties, in
such order as set forth in Section 6.6.

 

2.4               Amendments, etc. with respect to the Primary Obligations. Each
Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any
reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further
assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Primary
Obligations of the Loan Parties made by the Administrative Agent or any other
Secured Party may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party
and any of the Primary Obligations of the Loan Parties continued, and the
Primary Obligations of the Loan Parties, or the liability of any other Person
upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor
or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in

surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party,
and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Specified Cash

executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified,
supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or
the Required Lenders all of the Lenders, or any applicable Lender
Counterparties, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and
any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Primary
Obligations of the Loan Parties may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or
released. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall
have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time
held by it as security for the Primary Obligations of the Loan Parties or for
the guarantee contained in this Article II or any property subject thereto.

 

2.5               Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives
any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the
Primary Obligations of the Loan Parties and notice of or proof of reliance by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the guarantee contained in this
Article II or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Article II; the
Primary Obligations of the Loan Parties, and any of them, shall conclusively be
deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended,
amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Article; and
all dealings between the Loan Parties, on the one hand, and the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively
presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee
contained in this Article II. Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment,
protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any
Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of the Guarantors with respect to the
Primary Obligations of the Loan Parties. Each Guarantor understands and agrees
that the guarantee contained in this Article II shall be construed as a
continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to
(a) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan
Document, any of the Primary Obligations of the Loan Parties or any other
collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect
thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of
payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by
any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person against the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever
(with or without notice to or knowledge of any Borrower, any other Loan Party or
such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an
equitable or legal discharge of the Loan Parties for the Primary Obligations, or
of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Article II, in
bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or
otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the
Administrative Agent or any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to,
make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may
have against any Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Guarantor or any
other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Primary
Obligations of the Loan Parties or

any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or
remedies or to collect any payments from any Borrower, any other Loan Party, any
other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral
security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of
any Borrower, any other Loan Party with Primary Obligations, any other Guarantor
or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of
offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability
hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether
express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or
any Lender against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include
the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

 

2.6               Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Article II
shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any
time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Primary Obligations of the Loan
Parties is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution,
liquidation or reorganization of any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any
Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor
or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower, any other
Loan Party or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or
otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

 

2.7               Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments
hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent without set-off or
counterclaim in Dollars at the Funding Office or such other office designated by
the Administrative Agent in writing.

ARTICLE IV
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into the Credit
Agreement and to induce the Lenders to make their respective extensions of
credit to the Borrowers thereunder, each Grantor hereby represents and warrants
to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

 

4.1               Title, Perfection and Priority. Such Grantor has good title
and good and valid rights in or the power to transfer the Collateral and title
to the Collateral with respect to which it has purported to grant a security
interest hereunder, free and clear of all Liens except for Liens permitted under
Section 5.1(e), and has full corporate or similar organizational power and
authority to grant to the Administrative Agent the security interest in such
Collateral pursuant hereto. With respect to each Grantor party hereto on the
Closing Date, when financing statements naming such Grantor as debtor and the
Administrative Agent as secured party and providing a description of the
Collateral with respect to which such Grantor has purported to grant a security
interest hereunder have been filed in the appropriate offices against such
Grantor in the locations listed on Schedule 4.19(a) of the Credit Agreement, the
Administrative Agent will have a fully perfected first priority security
interest, subject only to Permitted Liens, in that Collateral of the Grantor in
which a security interest may be perfected by filing of an initial financing
statement in the appropriate office

 

10 

 

against such Grantor; provided that the filing of this Agreement (or a short
form Intellectual Property security agreement substantially in the form of
Exhibit D) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United
States Copyright Office may be necessary to perfect the security interest of the
Administrative Agent in respect of any registered or applied for Patents,
Trademarks and Copyrights (i) owned by or exclusively licensed to such Grantor
as of the date hereof or (ii) acquired or created by, or exclusively licensed
to, such Grantor after the date hereof (such registered and applied for Patents,
Trademarks and Copyrights described in this clause (ii), the “After-Acquired
Registered Intellectual Property”). When, subject to the terms of the Applicable
Intercreditor Agreement (if any), the Pledged Collateral is delivered to the
Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement, the Administrative Agent
will have a fully perfected first priority security interest in such Pledged
Collateral.

 

4.2               Type and Jurisdiction of Organization; Organizational and
Identification Numbers. The type of entity of such Grantor, its state of
organization, the organizational number issued to it by its state of
organization and its federal employer identification number, in each case as of
the Closing Date, are set forth on Schedule 1 of the Perfection Certificate.

 

4.3               Principal Location. Such Grantor’s mailing address, and the
location of its place of business (if it has only one) or its chief executive
office (if it has more than one place of business), in each case as of the
Closing Date, are disclosed on Schedule 2 of the Perfection Certificate.

 

4.4               [Reserved].

 

4.5               [Reserved].

 

4.6               Exact Names. Such Grantor’s name in which it has executed this
Agreement is the exact name as it appears in such Grantor’s organizational
documents, as amended, as filed with such Grantor’s jurisdiction of organization
as of the Closing Date. As of the Closing Date such Grantor has not, during the
past five years, been known by or used any other corporate or fictitious name,
or been a party to any merger or consolidation, or been a party to any
acquisition, other than in connection with the Closing Date Acquisition or as
provided on Schedule 1(b) of the Perfection Certificate.

 

4.7               [Reserved].

 

4.8               Accounts and Chattel Paper. The names of the obligors, amounts
owing, due dates and other information with respect to its Accounts and Chattel
Paper are and will be correctly stated in all material respects in all records
of such Grantor relating thereto.

 

4.9               [Reserved].

 

4.10           Intellectual Property. Schedule 6 of the Perfection Certificate
sets forth a true and complete list of (i) each registered or applied for
Patent, Trademark or Copyright owned by each Grantor as of the Closing Date and
(ii) all Licenses under which a Grantor is an exclusive licensee of a registered
or applied for Copyright. All Intellectual Property listed on Schedule 6 of the
Perfection Certificate is subsisting and unexpired, and to the actual knowledge
of such Grantor, valid and enforceable. This Agreement is effective to create a
valid and continuing Lien and, upon filing of appropriate financing statements
in the offices listed on Schedule 6 of the Perfection Certificate and this
Agreement (or a short form Intellectual Property security agreement
substantially in the form of Exhibit D) with the United States Copyright Office
and the United States Patent and Trademark Office, fully perfected first
priority security interests in favor of the Administrative Agent, on such
Grantor’s Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights, such perfected security interests
are enforceable as such as against any and all creditors of and purchasers from
such Grantor, and

 

11 

 

all action necessary or reasonably advisable to protect and perfect the
Administrative Agent’s Lien on such Grantor’s Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights
shall have been duly taken.

 

4.11           Filing Requirements. As of the Closing Date, none of the
Collateral owned by it is of a type for which security interests or liens may be
perfected by filing under any federal statute except for Patents, Trademarks and
Copyrights held by such Grantor and described in Schedule 6 of the Perfection
Certificate.

 

4.12           No Financing Statements, Security Agreements. No financing
statement or security agreement describing all or any portion of the Collateral
which has not lapsed or been terminated naming such Grantor as debtor has been
filed or is of record in any jurisdiction except for financing statements or
security agreements (a) naming the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured
Parties as the secured party and (b) in respect of the Permitted Liens.

 

4.13           Pledged Collateral. (a) With respect to the Pledged Collateral,
(x) Schedule 4 of the Perfection Certificate sets forth a complete and accurate
list of all Capital Stock constituting Pledged Collateral owned by such Grantor
as of the Closing Date and (y) Schedule 5 of the Perfection Certificate sets
forth a complete and accurate list of all Material Instruments and Material
Chattel Paper, in each case constituting Pledged Collateral owned by such
Grantor as of the Closing Date. As of the Closing Date, such Grantor is the
direct, sole beneficial owner and sole holder of record of the Pledged
Collateral listed on the Schedules to the Perfection Certificate as being owned
by it, free and clear of any Liens, except for (i) the security interest granted
to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders hereunder and (ii)
the Permitted Liens. Such Grantor further represents and warrants that (i) all
Pledged Collateral owned by it constituting Capital Stock has been (to the
extent such concepts are relevant with respect to such Pledged Collateral) duly
authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable, (ii) no
interest in any limited liability company or limited partnership controlled by
any Grantor that constitutes Pledged Collateral shall be represented by a
certificate unless (x) the limited liability company agreement or partnership or
limited partnership agreement expressly provides that such interests shall be a
“security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC of the applicable
jurisdiction, (y) such certificate bears a legend indicating such interest
represented thereby is such a “security” and (z) such certificate shall have
been delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and (iii) all Pledged Collateral which represents Indebtedness owed to
such Grantor, to the actual knowledge of such Grantor, has been duly authorized,
authenticated or issued and delivered by the issuer of such Indebtedness, is the
legal, valid and binding obligation of such issuer.

 

(b)                In addition, (i) to the actual knowledge of such Grantor,
none of the Pledged Collateral owned by it has been issued or transferred in
material violation of the securities registration, securities disclosure or
similar laws of any jurisdiction to which such issuance or transfer may be
subject, (ii) as of the Closing Date there are existing no options, warrants,
calls or commitments of any character whatsoever (A) relating to such Pledged
Collateral or (B) which obligate the issuer of any Capital Stock included in the
Pledged Collateral that is a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Parent
Borrower to issue additional Capital Stock, and (iii) no consent, approval,
authorization, or other action by, and no giving of notice, filing with, any
governmental authority or any other Person is required for the pledge by such
Grantor of such Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Agreement or for the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Grantor, or for
the exercise by the Administrative Agent of the voting or other rights provided
for in this Agreement or for the remedies in respect of the Pledged Collateral
pursuant to this Agreement, except (x) the filing of financing statements with
respect to any Pledged Collateral that is an uncertificated security or (y) as
may be required in connection with such disposition by laws affecting the
offering and sale of securities generally.

 

12 

 

(c)                As of the Closing Date, except as set forth in Schedule 4 of
the Perfection Certificate, such Grantor owns 100% of the issued and outstanding
Capital Stock which constitutes Pledged Collateral owned by it and none of the
Pledged Collateral which represents Indebtedness owed to such Grantor is
subordinated in right of payment to other Indebtedness or subject to the terms
of an indenture.

 

ARTICLE V
COVENANTS

 

From the date of this Agreement, and thereafter until this Agreement is
terminated, each Grantor agrees that:

Such Grantor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file, and if
requested will deliver to the Administrative Agent, all financing statements and
other documents and take such other actions (other than Excluded Perfection

if applicable, Control of, the Collateral owned by such Grantor. Any financing
statement filed by the Administrative Agent may be filed in any filing office in
any applicable UCC jurisdiction and may (i) indicate such Grantor’s Collateral
(1) as “all assets of the Grantor” or words of similar effect, regardless of
whether any particular asset included in the Collateral falls within the scope

filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including
whether such Grantor is an organization, the type of organization and any
organization identification number issued to such Grantor. Such Grantor also
agrees to furnish any such information described in the foregoing sentence to
the Administrative Agent promptly upon written request. The Administrative Agent
is further authorized to file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office
or United States Copyright Office (or any successor office or any similar office
in any other country) such documents as may be reasonably necessary or advisable
for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting
the security interest granted by each Grantor, without the signature of any
Grantor, and naming any Grantor or the Grantors as debtors and the
Administrative Agent as secured party.

 

(c)                Further Assurances; Perfection Certificate Updates. Such
Grantor will furnish to the Administrative Agent supplements to the Perfection
Certificate identifying and describing the Collateral owned by it, in each case
as required pursuant to Sections 6.2 and 6.10 of the Credit Agreement. Such
Grantor also agrees to take any and all actions reasonably necessary to perfect
the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral as required
pursuant to Section 6.10 of the Credit Agreement and to defend title to the
Collateral against all Persons and to defend the security interest of the
Administrative Agent in the Collateral and the priority thereof against any Lien
not expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement.

the Collateral owned by it except for Dispositions permitted pursuant to Section
7.5 of the Credit Agreement.

the filing of any financing statement naming it as debtor covering all or any
portion of the Collateral owned by it, except for financing statements (i)

party and (ii) in respect of Permitted Liens. Such Grantor acknowledges that it
is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination
statement with respect to any financing statement naming the Administrative
Agent as secured party without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent, subject to such Grantor’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the UCC.

 

5.2               [Reserved].

 

5.3               [Reserved].

 

5.4               Delivery of Instruments, Securities, Chattel Paper and
Documents. Such Grantor will (a) subject to the last paragraph of Section 5.1 of

Instruments constituting Collateral owned by it (if any then exist), (b) hold in
trust for the Administrative Agent upon receipt and immediately thereafter
deliver to the Administrative Agent any such certificated Securities and
Material Instruments constituting Collateral, (c) upon the Administrative
Agent’s written request, deliver to the Administrative Agent (and thereafter

with a value in excess of $5,000,000 and (d) promptly upon the Administrative
Agent’s written request, deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed
Additional Collateral Amendment, pursuant to which such Grantor will pledge such
additional Collateral. Such Grantor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent
to attach each Additional Collateral Amendment to this Agreement and agrees that
all additional Collateral owned by it set forth in such Additional Collateral
Amendments shall be considered to be part of the Collateral.

 

5.5               Uncertificated Pledged Collateral. Upon the written request of
the Administrative Agent, such Grantor will from time to time cause the
appropriate issuers (and, if held with a securities intermediary, such
securities intermediary) of uncertificated securities or other types of Pledged
Collateral owned by it not represented by certificates to mark their books and
records with the numbers and face amounts of all such uncertificated securities
or other types of Pledged Collateral not represented by certificates and all
rollovers and replacements therefor to reflect the Lien of the Administrative
Agent granted pursuant to this Agreement. With respect to any Pledged Collateral
owned by it, upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, such Grantor
will take any actions necessary to cause (a) the issuers of uncertificated
securities which are Pledged Collateral and (b) any securities intermediary
which is the holder of any such Pledged Collateral, to cause the Administrative

during the continuation of any Event of Default, such Grantor will permit any
registerable Pledged Collateral owned by it to be registered in the name of the
Administrative Agent or its nominee at any time at the option of the
Administrative Agent.

 

14 

 

(c)                Exercise of Rights in Pledged Collateral.

 

(i)                 Without in any way limiting the foregoing and subject to
clause (ii) below, such Grantor shall have the right to exercise all voting
rights or other rights relating to the Pledged Collateral owned by it for all
purposes not inconsistent with this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other
Loan Document; provided, however, that no vote or other right shall be exercised
or action taken which would have the effect of impairing the rights of the
Administrative Agent in respect of such Pledged Collateral.

 

(ii)               Such Grantor will permit the Administrative Agent or its
nominee at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, without notice,
to exercise all voting rights or other rights relating to the Pledged Collateral
owned by it, including, without limitation, exchange, subscription or any other
rights, privileges, or options pertaining to any Capital Stock or Investment
Property constituting such Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner
thereof.

 

(iii)             Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, such Grantor shall be entitled to collect and receive for its own
use all cash dividends and interest paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral
owned by it to the extent not in violation of the Credit Agreement. If an Event
of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall give
written notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Grantor or
Grantors, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive all such cash
dividends, interest, payments and other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged
Collateral.

 

5.7               Intellectual Property. (a) Such Grantor will use its
commercially reasonable efforts to secure all consents and approvals necessary
or appropriate for the assignment to or benefit of the Administrative Agent of
any material License held by such Grantor and to enforce the security interests
granted hereunder.

 

(b)                Such Grantor shall notify the Administrative Agent promptly
if it has actual knowledge that any application or registration relating to any
material Patent, Trademark or Copyright (now or hereafter existing) may become
abandoned or dedicated, or of any 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, the United States
Copyright Office or any court) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any
material Patent, Trademark or Copyright, its right to register the same, or to
keep and maintain the same.

 

(c)                If such Grantor obtains an ownership or other interest in any
After-Acquired Registered Intellectual Property, any such Intellectual Property
shall automatically constitute Collateral and shall be subject to the security
interest created by this Agreement, and such Grantor shall, prior to or
concurrently with the next delivery of any financial statements pursuant to
Section 6.1(a) or 6.1(b) of the Credit Agreement, execute and deliver an
appropriate short form Intellectual Property security agreement or agreements
substantially in the form of Exhibit D, and shall make any necessary or
reasonably desirable recordations of such short form Intellectual Property
security agreements with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (no later
than 90 days after execution of same), the United States Copyright Office (no
later than 30 days after execution of same) or any similar office or agency, as
appropriate.

 

(d)                Such Grantor shall take all actions necessary or reasonably
requested by the Administrative Agent to maintain and pursue each material
application, to obtain the relevant registration and to maintain the
registration of each of its material Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights (now or
hereafter existing), including the filing of applications for renewal,
affidavits of use, affidavits of noncontestability and opposition and
interference and cancellation proceedings.

(e)                Such Grantor shall, unless it shall reasonably determine that
such Patent, Trademark or Copyright is not material to the conduct of the
business or operations of the Borrowers and the Grantors taken as a whole,
promptly sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to recover any
and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, and shall
take such other actions as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably deem
appropriate under the circumstances to protect any Patent, Trademark or
Copyright. In the event that such Grantor institutes suit because any of its
Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights constituting Collateral is infringed upon, or
misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor shall comply with
Section 5.8. Such Grantor agrees that it will not knowingly do any act or omit
to do any act (and will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to prevent its
licensees from doing any act or omitting to do any act) whereby any Patent that
is material to such Grantor’s business may become prematurely invalidated or
dedicated to the public. Such Grantor will, and will use its commercially
reasonable efforts to cause its licensees or its sublicensees to, for each
Trademark that is material to such Grantor’s business, (i) maintain such
Trademark in full force free from any adjudication of abandonment or invalidity
for non-use, (ii) maintain the quality of products and services offered under
such Trademark, (iii) display such Trademark with notice of federal or foreign
registration or claim of trademark or service mark as required under applicable
law and (iv) not knowingly use or knowingly permit its licensees’ use of such
Trademark in violation of any third-party rights.

 

5.8               Commercial Tort Claims. Such Grantor shall promptly, and in
any event within 30 days after the same is acquired by it, notify the
Administrative Agent of any Material Commercial Tort Claim acquired by it and,
unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents, such Grantor shall enter
into an Additional Collateral Amendment granting to Administrative Agent a first
priority security interest in such commercial tort claim.

 

5.9               [Reserved].

 

5.10           Federal, State or Municipal Claims. Such Grantor will promptly
notify the Administrative Agent of any Collateral which constitutes a claim with
a value in excess of $5,000,000 against the United States government or any
state or local government or any instrumentality or agency thereof, the
assignment of which claim is restricted by federal, state or municipal law.

 

5.11           No Interference. Such Grantor agrees that it will not interfere
with any right, power and remedy of the Administrative Agent provided for in
this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or
otherwise, or the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Administrative
Agent of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies.

 

5.12           Insurance. (a) Subject to the terms of the Applicable
Intercreditor Agreement (if any), all insurance policies covering liability or
physical loss or damage to property required under Section 6.5 of the Credit
Agreement shall name the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties) as an additional insured or as a
lender loss payee, as applicable, and shall contain lender loss payable clauses
or mortgagee clauses, through endorsements in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, which provide that all proceeds
thereunder with respect to any Collateral shall be payable to the Administrative
Agent or its designee and the Grantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to provide that such policy and loss payable or mortgagee clauses may be
canceled, amended, or terminated only upon prior written notice to the
Administrative Agent.

 

(b)        All premiums on such insurance shall be paid when due by the
Grantors, and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, copies of the policies
shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent. If the Grantor fails to obtain
any insurance as required by Section 6.5 of the Credit Agreement, the
Administrative Agent may obtain such insurance at the Borrowers’ joint and
several expense. By purchasing such insurance, the Administrative Agent shall
not be deemed to have waived any Default arising from a

 

16 

 

Grantor’s failure to maintain such insurance or pay any premium therefor. All
sums disbursed by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Section 5.12
shall be part of the Obligations secured hereby.

 

(c)       Such Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the
Administrative Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the
Administrative Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful agent (and
attorney-in-fact) for the purpose, during the occurrence and continuance of an
Event of Default, of making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of
Collateral under policies of insurance, for making all determinations and
decisions with respect thereto and of endorsing the name of such Grantor on any
check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such
policies.

 

5.13           Change of Name. Such Grantor will not, except upon 5 days’ (or
such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole
discretion) prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and delivery to the
Administrative Agent of all additional financing statements and other executed
documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to maintain the
validity, perfection and priority of the security interests provided for herein,
(i) change its name or (ii) change its jurisdiction of its organization or the
location of its chief executive office or sole place of business or postal
address from that referred to in Section 4.2 or which was previously notified to
the Administrative Agent.

 

5.14           Excluded Perfection Actions; Administrative Agent Authority.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, (i) no Excluded Perfection Actions with respect to any
Collateral shall be required and (ii) the Administrative Agent may, in its sole
discretion, grant extensions of time for the creation and perfection of security
interests in or the obtaining of title insurance, legal opinions or other
deliverables with respect to particular assets or the provision of any guarantee
by any Loan Party (including extensions beyond the Closing Date or in connection
with assets acquired, or Restricted Subsidiaries formed or acquired, after the
Closing Date) when it determines that such action cannot be accomplished without
undue effort or expense by the time or times at which it would otherwise be
required to be accomplished by this Agreement or the Security Documents.

6.1               Remedies. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured
Parties, may exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies:

 

(i)                 those rights and remedies provided in this Agreement, the
Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document; provided that this Section 6.1(a)
shall not be understood to limit any rights or remedies available to the
Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties prior to an Event of Default;

 

(ii)               those rights and remedies available to a secured party under
the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or under any
other applicable law (including, without limitation, any law governing the
exercise of a bank's right of setoff or bankers’ lien and any credit bidding)
when a debtor is in default under a security agreement;

 

(iii)             [reserved];

 

(iv)              without notice (except as specifically provided in Section 8.1
or elsewhere herein), demand or advertisement of any kind to any Grantor or any
other Person, enter the premises of any Grantor where any Collateral is located
(through self-help and without judicial process) to

 

17 

 

collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, sell, lease, assign, grant an
option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of, deliver, or realize upon,
the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private
sale or sales (which sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with
or without notice and may take place at any Grantor’s premises or elsewhere),
for cash, on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit
risk, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem
commercially reasonable; and

 

(v)                concurrently with written notice to the applicable Grantor,
transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any
part of the Pledged Collateral, exchange certificates or instruments
representing or evidencing Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of
smaller or larger denominations, exercise the voting and all other rights as a
holder with respect thereto, collect and receive all cash dividends, interest,
principal and other distributions made thereon and otherwise act with respect to
the Pledged Collateral as though the Administrative Agent was the outright owner
thereof.

 

(b)                The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties,
may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection
with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered to
adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

 

(c)                The Administrative Agent shall have the right upon any such
public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private
sale or sales, to purchase (including by credit bidding) for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, the whole or any part of the
Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity redemption, which equity
redemption the Grantor hereby expressly releases.

 

(d)                Until the Administrative Agent is able to effect a sale,
lease, or other disposition of Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall have
the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it
deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for
any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or
keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Administrative
Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and Secured
Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to
such appointment.

 

(e)                [Reserved].

 

(f)                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Administrative
Agent nor the Secured Parties shall be required to (i) make any demand upon, or
pursue or exhaust any of its rights or remedies against, any Grantor, any other
obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of
the Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of its rights or remedies with
respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof,
(ii) marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Obligations or to resort to
the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, or (iii) effect a
public sale of any Collateral.

 

(g)                Each Grantor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be
unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral and may be
compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof in accordance with
clause (a) above. Each Grantor also acknowledges that any private sale may
result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale
were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such
private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially
unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private. The
Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the
Pledged Collateral for the

 

18 

 

period of time necessary to permit any Grantor or the issuer of the Pledged
Collateral to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the
applicable Grantor and the issuer would agree to do so.

 

6.2               Grantor’s Obligations Upon Event of Default. Upon the request
of the Administrative Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, each Grantor will:

 

(a)                assemble and make available to the Administrative Agent the
Collateral and all books and records relating thereto at any place or places
reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent, whether at a Grantor’s
premises or elsewhere;

 

(b)                permit the Administrative Agent, by the Administrative
Agent’s representatives and agents, to enter, occupy and use any premises where
all or any part of the Collateral, or the books and records relating thereto, or
both, are located, to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral or
the books and records relating thereto, or both, to remove all or any part of
the Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, and to
conduct sales of the Collateral, without any obligation to pay the Grantor for
such use and occupancy;

 

(c)                [reserved];

 

(d)                take, or cause an issuer of Pledged Collateral to take, any
and all actions necessary to register or qualify the Pledged Collateral to
enable the Administrative Agent to consummate a public sale or other disposition
of the Pledged Collateral; and

 

(e)                at its own expense, cause the independent certified public
accountants then engaged by each Grantor to prepare and deliver to the
Administrative Agent, at any time, and from time to time, promptly upon the
Administrative Agent’s request, the following reports with respect to the
applicable Grantor: (i) a reconciliation of all Accounts; (ii) an aging of all
Accounts; (iii) trial balances; and (iv) a test verification of such Accounts.

 

6.3               Grant of Intellectual Property License. Solely for the purpose
of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise the rights and remedies under
this Article VI at such time as the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully
entitled to exercise such rights and remedies after the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor hereby (a) grants to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the
Secured Parties, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without
payment of royalty or other compensation to any Grantor) to use, license or
sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such
Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license
access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored
and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout
thereof and (b) irrevocably agrees that the Administrative Agent may sell any of
such Grantor’s Inventory directly to any Person, including without limitation
Persons who have previously purchased the Grantor’s Inventory from such Grantor
and in connection with any such sale or other enforcement of the Administrative
Agent’s rights under this Agreement, may sell Inventory which bears any
Trademark owned by or licensed to such Grantor and any Inventory that is covered
by any Copyright owned by or licensed to such Grantor and the Administrative
Agent may finish any work in process and affix any Trademark owned by or
licensed to such Grantor and sell such Inventory as provided herein.

 

6.4               [Reserved].

 

6.5               Proceeds to be Turned Over or Received by the Administrative
Agent. In addition to the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Secured
Parties specified in Section 7.2 with respect to payments

 

19 

 

of Accounts, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon
the request of the Administrative Agent, all Proceeds received by any Grantor
consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such
Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties,
segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt
by such Grantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form
received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative
Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Administrative Agent hereunder
shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a collateral account established by
the Administrative Agent maintained under its sole dominion and control. All
such Proceeds while held by the Administrative Agent in such a collateral
account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the
Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the
Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided
in the Credit Agreement.

 

6.6               Application of Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, subject to the terms of the Applicable Intercreditor
Agreement (if any), at any time at the Administrative Agent’s election, the
Administrative Agent shall apply all or any part of Proceeds constituting
Collateral in payment of the Obligations in accordance with Section 8.2 of the
Credit Agreement.

 

ARTICLE VII
ACCOUNT VERIFICATION; ATTORNEY IN FACT; PROXY

 

7.1               Account Verification. The Administrative Agent may at any time
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in the
Administrative Agent’s own name, in the name of a nominee of the Administrative
Agent, or in the name of any Grantor communicate (by mail, telephone, facsimile
or otherwise) with the Account Debtors of any such Grantor, parties to contracts
with any such Grantor and obligors in respect of Instruments of any such Grantor
to verify with such Persons, to the Administrative Agent’s satisfaction, the
existence, amount, terms of, and any other matter relating to, Accounts,
Instruments, Chattel Paper, payment intangibles and/or other Receivables.

 

7.2               Authorization for Administrative Agent to Take Certain Action.
(a) Each Grantor irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent at any time and
from time to time in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and
appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney in fact (i) to execute on
behalf of such Grantor as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or
desirable in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to
maintain the perfection and priority of the Administrative Agent’s security
interest in the Collateral, (ii) to endorse and collect any cash proceeds of the
Collateral, (iii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this
Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Collateral as a
financing statement and to file any other financing statement or amendment of a
financing statement in such offices as the Administrative Agent in its sole
discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the
perfection and priority of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the
Collateral, (iv) to contact and enter into one or more agreements with the
issuers of uncertificated securities which are Pledged Collateral or with
securities intermediaries holding Pledged Collateral as may be necessary or
advisable to give the Administrative Agent Control over such Pledged Collateral,
(v) to apply the proceeds of any Collateral received by the Administrative Agent
to the Obligations as provided in the Credit Agreement, (vi) to discharge past
due taxes, assessments, charges, fees or Liens on the Collateral (except for
such Liens that are permitted by the Credit Agreement), (vii) to contact Account
Debtors for any reason, (viii) to demand payment or enforce payment of the
Receivables in the name of the Administrative Agent or such Grantor and to
endorse any and all checks, drafts, and other instruments for the payment of
money relating to the Receivables, (ix) to sign such Grantor’s name on any
invoice or bill of lading relating to the Receivables, drafts against any
Account Debtor of the Grantor, assignments and verifications of Receivables, (x)
to exercise all of such Grantor’s rights and remedies with respect to the
collection of the Receivables and any other Collateral, (xi) to settle, adjust,
compromise, extend or renew the Receivables, (xii) to settle, adjust or
compromise any legal proceedings brought to collect Receivables,

 

20 

 

(xiii) to prepare, file and sign such Grantor’s name on a proof of claim in
bankruptcy or similar document against any Account Debtor of such Grantor, (xiv)
to prepare, file and sign such Grantor’s name on any notice of Lien, assignment
or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in connection with the Collateral,
(xv) to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to such Grantor to
such address as the Administrative Agent may designate and to receive, open and
dispose of all mail addressed to such Grantor, and (xvi) to do all other acts
and things necessary to carry out this Agreement; and such Grantor agrees to
reimburse the Administrative Agent on demand for any payment made or any expense
incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any of the foregoing;
provided that (a) the authorizations in clauses (ii), (iv), (vi), (vii), (viii),
(ix), (x), (xi), (xii), (xiii), (xiv), (xv), and (xvi) of this Section 7.2(a)
may only be used by the Administrative Agent after the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Default or Event of Default and (b) the authorizations
provided in this Section 7.2(a) shall not relieve such Grantor of any of its
obligations under this Agreement or under the Credit Agreement.

 

(b)                All acts of said attorney or designee performed in accordance
with this Section 7.2 are hereby ratified and approved. The powers conferred on
the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and
Secured Parties, under this Section 7.2 are solely to protect the Administrative
Agent’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the
Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers.

 

7.3               Proxy. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND
APPOINTS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AS ITS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT (AS SET
FORTH IN SECTION 7.2 ABOVE) WITH RESPECT TO ITS PLEDGED COLLATERAL, INCLUDING
THE RIGHT TO VOTE (WHICH MAY ONLY BE EXERCISED DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF ANY
DEFAULT OR EVENT OF DEFAULT) ANY OF THE PLEDGED COLLATERAL, WITH FULL POWER OF
SUBSTITUTION TO DO SO. IN ADDITION TO THE RIGHT TO VOTE ANY OF THE PLEDGED
COLLATERAL, THE APPOINTMENT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AS PROXY AND
ATTORNEY-IN-FACT SHALL INCLUDE, UPON THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUANCE
OF ANY DEFAULT OR EVENT OF DEFAULT, THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE ALL OTHER RIGHTS,
POWERS, PRIVILEGES AND REMEDIES TO WHICH A HOLDER OF ANY OF THE PLEDGED
COLLATERAL WOULD BE ENTITLED (INCLUDING GIVING OR WITHHOLDING WRITTEN CONSENTS
OF SHAREHOLDERS, CALLING SPECIAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS AND VOTING AT SUCH
MEETINGS). SUCH PROXY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE, AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT THE
NECESSITY OF ANY ACTION (INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER OF ANY OF THE PLEDGED COLLATERAL
ON THE RECORD BOOKS OF THE ISSUER THEREOF) BY ANY PERSON (INCLUDING THE ISSUER
OF THE PLEDGED COLLATERAL OR ANY OFFICER OR AGENT THEREOF), UPON THE OCCURRENCE
AND DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT.

 

7.4               Nature of Appointment; Limitation of Duty. THE APPOINTMENT OF
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT IN THIS ARTICLE VII IS
COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE UNTIL THE DATE ON WHICH THIS
AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 8.14. NOTWITHSTANDING
ANYTHING CONTAINED HEREIN, NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, NOR ANY SECURED
PARTY, NOR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, NOR ANY OF THEIR OR THEIR
AFFILIATES’ RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES
SHALL HAVE ANY DUTY TO EXERCISE ANY RIGHT OR POWER GRANTED HEREUNDER OR
OTHERWISE OR TO PRESERVE THE SAME AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY FAILURE TO DO
SO OR FOR ANY DELAY IN DOING SO, EXCEPT IN RESPECT OF DAMAGES ATTRIBUTABLE TO
(I) ITS OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR (II) A MATERIAL BREACH IN
BAD FAITH BY IT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO A CLAIM
INITIATED BY ANY

 

21 

 

GRANTOR, IN EACH CASE, AS FINALLY DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT
JURISDICTION; PROVIDED THAT, IN NO EVENT SHALL THEY BE LIABLE FOR ANY PUNITIVE,
EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

 

ARTICLE VIII
GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

8.1               Waivers. Each Grantor hereby waives notice of the time and
place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other
disposition of all or any part of the Collateral may be made. To the extent such
notice may not be waived under applicable law, any notice made shall be deemed
reasonable if sent to the Grantors, addressed as set forth in Article X, at
least ten days prior to (i) the date of any such public sale or (ii) the time
after which any such private sale or other disposition may be made. To the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims,
damages, and demands against the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party
arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral, except
such as arise out of (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Administrative Agent or such Secured Party, as applicable, or (ii) a material
breach in bad faith by the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party, as
applicable, of its obligations under this Agreement pursuant to a claim
initiated by any Grantor, in each case, as finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor
absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of,
and covenants not to assert against the Administrative Agent or any Secured
Party, any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension, moratorium, redemption or
similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or
hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the
sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or
privately under the power of sale conferred by this Agreement, or otherwise.
Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor hereby waives
presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Agreement or any Collateral.

 

8.2               Limitation on Administrative Agent’s and Secured Parties’ Duty
with Respect to the Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall have no
obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The
Administrative Agent and each Secured Party shall use reasonable care with
respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any other duty as to any
Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any
agent or nominee of the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party, or any
income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any
other rights pertaining thereto. To the extent that applicable law imposes
duties on the Administrative Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially
reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially
reasonable for the Administrative Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed
significant by the Administrative Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or
otherwise to transform raw material or work in process into finished goods or
other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party
consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not
required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents
for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of,
(iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other
Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims
against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors
and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of
collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise
dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation,
whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other
Persons, whether or not in the same business as such Grantor, for expressions of
interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (vii) to hire one or
more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral,
whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of
Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of
the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable

 

22 

 

capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to
dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim
disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to
purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Administrative Agent
against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to
the Administrative Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition
of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Administrative
Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants
and other professionals to assist the Administrative Agent in the collection or
disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose
of this Section 8.2 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or
omissions by the Administrative Agent would be commercially reasonable in the
Administrative Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that
other actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed
commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this
Section 8.2. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this
Section 8.2 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose
any duties on the Administrative Agent that would not have been granted or
imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section
8.2.

 

8.3               Compromises and Collection of Collateral. The Grantors and the
Administrative Agent recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other
claims may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Receivables,
that certain of the Receivables may be or become uncollectible in whole or in
part and that the expense and probability of success in litigating a disputed
Receivable may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered
with respect to a Receivable. In view of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that
the Administrative Agent may at any time and from time to time, if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, compromise with the obligor on any
Receivable, accept in full payment of any Receivable such amount as the
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any
Receivable, and any such action by the Administrative Agent shall be
commercially reasonable so long as the Administrative Agent acts in good faith
based on information known to it at the time it takes any such action.

 

8.4               Secured Party Performance of Debtor Obligations. Without
having any obligation to do so, the Administrative Agent may perform or pay any
obligation which any Grantor has agreed to perform or pay in this Agreement and
the Grantors shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any amounts paid by
the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.4. The Grantors’ obligation
to reimburse the Administrative Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall
be an Obligation payable on written demand.

 

8.5               Specific Performance of Certain Covenants. Each Grantor
acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in
Section 6.2 will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and the
Secured Parties, that the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties have no
adequate remedy at law in respect of such breaches and therefore agrees, without
limiting the right of the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties to seek
and obtain specific performance of other obligations of the Grantors contained
in this Agreement, that the covenants of the Grantors contained in the Section
referred to in this Section 8.5 shall be specifically enforceable against the
Grantors.

 

8.6               Dispositions Not Authorized. No Grantor is authorized to sell
or otherwise Dispose of the Collateral (except as set forth in Section 5.1(d))
and notwithstanding any course of dealing between any Grantor and the
Administrative Agent or other conduct of the Administrative Agent, no
authorization to sell or otherwise Dispose of the Collateral (except as set
forth in Section 5.1(d)) shall be binding upon the Administrative Agent or the
Secured Parties unless such authorization is in writing signed by the
Administrative Agent with the consent or at the direction of the Required
Lenders.

 

8.7               No Waiver; Amendments; Cumulative Remedies. No delay or
omission of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any right
or remedy granted under this Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be
construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein,

 

23 

 

and any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall not
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right or remedy. No waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms,
conditions or provisions of this Agreement whatsoever shall be valid unless in
writing signed by the Administrative Agent with the concurrence or at the
direction of the Lenders required under Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement and
then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All rights and
remedies contained in this Agreement or by law afforded shall be cumulative and
all shall be available to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties until
the Obligations have been paid in full.

 

8.8               Limitation by Law; Severability of Provisions. All rights,
remedies and powers provided in this Agreement may be exercised only to the
extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of
law, and all the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be subject to all
applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited
to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Agreement invalid,
unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded or registered, in whole or in part.
Any provision in any this Agreement that is held to be inoperative,
unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be
inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining
provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of
that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of this
Agreement are declared to be severable.

 

8.9               Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against
any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become
insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or
should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any
Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the
case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any
part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or
must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations,
whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all
as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any
payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the
Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and
not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

 

8.10           Benefit of Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Grantors, the
Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective successors and
assigns (including all persons who become bound as a debtor to this Agreement),
except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate its
obligations under this Agreement or any interest herein, without the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent. No sales of participations,
assignments, transfers, or other dispositions of any agreement governing the
Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner
impair the Lien granted to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, hereunder.

 

8.11           Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties
of the Grantors contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Agreement.

 

8.12           Expenses. The Grantors shall reimburse the Administrative Agent
for its expenses in accordance with Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement, the
terms of which shall apply as if each Grantor were a Borrower thereunder. Any
and all costs and expenses incurred by the Grantors in the performance of
actions required pursuant to the terms hereof shall be borne solely by the
Grantors.

 

8.13           Headings. The headings used herein are for convenience of
reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the
construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

 

24 

 

8.14           Termination. This Agreement shall continue in effect
(notwithstanding the fact that from time to time there may be no Obligations
outstanding) until (i) the Credit Agreement has terminated pursuant to its
express terms and (ii) the Discharge of Obligations has occurred.

 

8.15           Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Security Documents
and the Credit Agreement embody the entire agreement and understanding between
the Grantors and the Administrative Agent relating to the Collateral and
supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the Grantors and the
Administrative Agent relating to the Collateral.

 

8.16           GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS. (a)
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

(b)                Each of the Grantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States District Court
of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof
(and, to the extent necessary to enforce the Secured Parties’ rights under the
Loan Documents, courts where Collateral may be located or deemed to be located
and any appellate court thereof), in any legal action or proceeding arising out
of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition and enforcement of any
judgment in respect thereof, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent
permitted by law, in such Federal court; provided, that nothing contained herein
or in any other Loan Document will prevent any Lender or the Administrative
Agent from bringing any action to enforce any award or judgment or exercise any
right under the Security Documents or against any Collateral or any other
property of any Grantor in any other forum in which jurisdiction can be
established. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such
action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that
the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any other Secured Party may otherwise
have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document against the Grantors or their respective properties in the courts
of any jurisdiction.

 

(c)                Each of the Grantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit,
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of
the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or
proceeding in any such court.

 

(d)                Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service
of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.1. Nothing in this
