ineffective under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law);

under Section 2.01 and is certificated or becomes certificated, the applicable
Grantor shall cause each such certificate to be delivered to the Administrative
Agent pursuant to Section 2.02(a), and such Grantor shall fulfill all other
requirements under Section 2.02 applicable in respect thereof.

Section 2.05. Registration in Nominee Name; Denominations. If an Event of
Default shall occur and be continuing, (a) the Administrative Agent, on behalf
of the Secured Parties, shall have the right (in its sole and absolute
discretion) to hold the Pledged Securities in its own name as pledgee, the name
of its nominee (as pledgee or as sub-agent) or the name of the applicable
Grantor, endorsed or assigned in blank or in favor of the Administrative Agent,
and each Grantor will promptly give to the Administrative Agent copies of any
notices or other communications received by it with respect to Pledged
Securities registered in the

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

name of such Grantor and (b) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to
exchange the certificates representing Pledged Securities for certificates of
smaller or larger denominations for any purpose consistent with this Agreement;
provided, that the Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower not less than 10
days’ prior notice of its intent to exercise such rights.

Section 2.06. Voting Rights; Dividends and Interest. (a) Unless and until an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative
Agent shall have provided not less than 10 days’ prior notice to the Borrower
that the rights of the Grantors under this Section 2.06 are being suspended:

(i) Each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or other
consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of Pledged Securities or any
part thereof for any purpose consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the
Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such rights and
powers shall not be exercised in any manner, except as may be permitted under
this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, that would
materially and adversely affect the rights and remedies of any of the
Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties under this Agreement, the
Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or the ability of the Secured
Parties to exercise the same.

(ii) The Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to each Grantor, or
cause to be executed and delivered to each Grantor, all such proxies, powers of
attorney and other instruments as each Grantor may reasonably request for the
purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights
and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to subparagraph (i) above.

(iii) Each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all
dividends, interest, principal and other distributions paid on or distributed in
respect of the Pledged Securities to the extent and only to the extent that such
dividends, interest, principal and other distributions are permitted by, and
otherwise paid or distributed in accordance with, the terms and conditions of
the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable Laws; provided
that any noncash (and non-cash equivalent) dividends, interest, principal or
other distributions that would constitute Pledged Equity or Pledged Debt,
whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the
outstanding Equity Interests of the issuer of any Pledged Securities or received
in exchange for Pledged Securities or any part thereof, or in redemption
thereof, or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other
exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be
and become part of the Pledged Collateral, and, if received by any Grantor,
shall not be commingled by such Grantor with any of its other funds or property
but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the

 

12

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

benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and shall be
promptly delivered to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received
(with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by the Administrative
Agent). So long as no Event of Default has occurred that is continuing, if
requested by the applicable Grantor the Administrative Agent shall promptly
deliver to such Grantor any Pledged Securities in the Administrative Agent’s
possession owned by such Grantor in connection with any exchange, redemption or
disposition of such Pledged Securities; provided that the Borrower has delivered
to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the
Borrower certifying that such exchange, redemption or disposition is permitted
under the Credit Agreement.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after
the Administrative Agent shall have provided the Borrower with not less than 10
days’ prior notice of the suspension of the rights of the Grantors under
paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06, then all rights of any Grantor to
dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor is
authorized to receive pursuant to paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06 shall
cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative
Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive
and retain such dividends, interest, principal or other distributions. All
dividends, interest, principal or other distributions received by any Grantor
contrary to the provisions of this Section 2.06 shall be held in trust for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from other property or
funds of such Grantor and shall be promptly delivered to the Administrative
Agent upon demand in the same form as so received (with any necessary
endorsement reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent). Any and all money
and other property paid over to or received by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall be retained by the Administrative
Agent in an account to be established by the Administrative Agent upon receipt
of such money or other property and shall be applied in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.02 hereof. After all Events of Default have been cured
or waived, the Administrative Agent shall promptly repay to each Grantor
(without interest) all dividends, interest, principal or other distributions
that such Grantor would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms
of paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06 that remain in such account.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after
the Administrative Agent shall have provided the Borrower with not less than 10
days’ prior notice of the suspension of the rights of the Grantors under
paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06, then all rights of any Grantor to
exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise
pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06, and the obligations of the
Administrative Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.06, shall cease,
and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent,
which

 

13

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

shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting
and consensual rights and powers; provided that, unless otherwise directed by
the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall have the right from time to
time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the
Grantors to exercise such rights at the discretion of the Administrative Agent.
After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, each Grantor shall have
the exclusive right to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers
that such Grantor would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms
of paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06.

(d) Any notice given by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower suspending the
rights of the Grantors under paragraph (a) of this Section 2.06 (i) shall be
given in writing, (ii) may be given with respect to one or more of the Grantors
at the same or different times and (iii) may suspend the rights of the Grantors
under paragraph (a)(i) or paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06 in part
without suspending all such rights (as specified by the Administrative Agent in
its sole and absolute discretion) and without waiving or otherwise affecting the
Administrative Agent’s rights to give additional notices from time to time
suspending other rights so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing.

statement filed as a fixture filing, a sufficient description of the real
property to which such Article 9 Collateral relates. Each Grantor agrees to
provide such information to the Administrative Agent promptly upon any
reasonable request.

(c) The Security Interest is granted as security only and shall not subject the
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to, or in any way alter or
modify, any obligation or liability of any Grantor with respect to or arising
out of the Article 9 Collateral.

 

15

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

(d) The Administrative Agent is authorized to file with the USPTO or the USCO
(or any successor office) such documents as may be necessary or advisable for
the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the
Security Interest in United States Intellectual Property granted hereunder by
each Grantor, without the signature of any Grantor, and naming any Grantor or
the Grantor as debtors and the Administrative Agent as secured party.

Collateral with respect to which it has purported to grant a Security Interest
hereunder and has full power and authority to grant to the Administrative Agent
the Security Interest in such Article 9 Collateral pursuant hereto and to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, without the consent or approval of any other Person other than
any consent or approval that has been obtained.

(b) The information set forth in the Perfection Certificate, including the legal

16

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

benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of all Article 9 Collateral in which
the Security Interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration in
the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and
possessions, and no further or subsequent filing, refiling, recording,
rerecording, registration or reregistration is necessary in any such
jurisdiction, except as provided under applicable law with respect to the filing

respectively, have been delivered to the Administrative Agent for recording by
the USPTO and the USCO pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 261, 15 U.S.C. § 1060 or 17
U.S.C. § 205 (or any successor provisions thereto) and the regulations
thereunder, as applicable, as may be necessary to establish a valid and
perfected security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent (for the
benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of all Article 9 Collateral
consisting of such Intellectual Property, in each case, in which a security
interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration in the USPTO or
the USCO under the Federal intellectual property laws, and no further or
subsequent filing, refiling, recording, rerecording, registration or
reregistration is necessary (other than (i) such filings and actions as are
necessary to perfect the Security Interest with respect to any Article 9
Collateral consisting of Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights (or registration or
application for registration thereof) acquired or developed by any Grantor after
the date hereof, (ii) as may be required under the laws of jurisdictions outside
the United States with respect to Article 9 Collateral created under such laws,
and (iii) the UCC financing and continuation statements contemplated in

(d) The Security Interest constitutes (i) a legal and valid security interest in
all the Article 9 Collateral securing the payment and performance of the
Obligations; (ii) subject to the filings described in Section 3.02(b), a
perfected security interest in all Article 9 Collateral in which a security
interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registering a financing
statement or analogous document in the United States (or any political
subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions pursuant to the Uniform
Commercial Code in the relevant jurisdiction and (iii) subject to the filings
described in Section 3.02(c), a perfected security interest in all registrations
and applications for Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights, and exclusive Copyright
Licenses covering United States registered Copyrights and Copyright applications
that are owned by third parties, in each case, to the extent a security interest
may be perfected upon the receipt and recording of fully executed short-form
Intellectual Property Security Agreements with the USPTO and the USCO, as
applicable. The Security Interest

 

17

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

is and shall be prior to any other Lien on any of the Article 9 Collateral,
other than Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit
Agreement.

(e) The Article 9 Collateral is owned by the Grantors free and clear of any
Lien, except for Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the
Credit Agreement. None of the Grantors has filed or consented to the filing of
(i) any financing statement or analogous document under the New York UCC or any
other applicable United States law covering any Article 9 Collateral, (ii) any
assignment in which any Grantor assigns any Article 9 Collateral or any security
agreement or similar instrument covering any Article 9 Collateral with the USPTO
or the USCO or (iii) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns any Article 9
Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Article
9 Collateral with any foreign governmental, municipal or other office, which
financing statement or analogous document, assignment, security agreement or
similar instrument is still in effect, except, in each case, for Liens expressly
permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 3.03. Covenants. (a) The Borrower agrees promptly (and in any event not
later than the earlier of (x) 45 days after such change and (y) 10 days prior to
the date on which the perfection of the Security Interest would (absent
additional filings or other actions) lapse, in whole or in part, by reason of
such change) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any change in
(i) legal name of any Grantor, (ii) the identity or type of organization or
corporate structure of any Grantor, (iii) the jurisdiction of organization of
any Grantor, or (iv) the chief executive office of any Grantor.

(b) Each year, at the time of delivery of annual financial statements with
respect to the preceding fiscal year pursuant to Section 6.01 of the Credit
Agreement, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an updated
Perfection Certificate executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower,
setting forth any information required pursuant to Schedules 1(a), 1(b), 1(c),
2(c), 6, 7, 9, 10 and 11 therein that has changed or confirming that there has
been no change in such information since the date of such certificate or the
date of the most recent certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 3.03(b).

(c) The Borrower agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of each other Grantor,
at its own expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed
all such further instruments and documents and take all such actions as the
Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request to better assure,
preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies
created hereby, including the payment of any fees and taxes required in
connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of
the Security Interest and the filing of any financing statements (including
fixture filings) or other documents in connection herewith or therewith.

 

18

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

(d) At its option, the Administrative Agent may discharge past due taxes,
assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at
any time levied or placed on the Article 9 Collateral and not permitted pursuant
to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement, and may pay for the maintenance and
preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Grantor fails to do
so as required by the Credit Agreement or this Agreement and within a reasonable
period of time after the Administrative Agent has requested that it do so, and
each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent
within 10 Business Days after demand for any reasonable payment made or any
reasonable expense incurred by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the
foregoing authorization; provided, however, that the Grantors shall not be
obligated to reimburse the Administrative Agent with respect to any Intellectual
Property Collateral which any Grantor has failed to maintain or pursue, or
otherwise allowed to lapse, terminate or be put into the public domain, in
accordance with Section 3.03(f)(iv). Nothing in this paragraph shall be
interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any
obligation on the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform,
any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes,
assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and
maintenance as set forth herein, in the other Loan Documents.

(e) If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim
with a Fair Market Value of greater than $2,500,000 and for which such Grantor
(or predecessor in interest) has filed a complaint in a court of competent
jurisdiction, such Grantor shall, not later than the date on which the Borrower
is next required to deliver a Compliance Certificate under Section 6.02(a) of
the Credit Agreement, notify the Administrative Agent in writing signed by such
Grantor of the brief details thereof and grant to the Administrative Agent a
security interest therein and in the Proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of
this Agreement pursuant to a document in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) Intellectual Property Covenants.

(i) Except as is otherwise provided in this Agreement or in the Credit Agreement
and except to the extent failure to act would not, as deemed by the Borrower in
its reasonable business judgment, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect, to the extent it has standing to do so each Grantor agrees to
take, at its expense, all reasonable steps, including, without limitation, in
and with the USPTO, the USCO and any other governmental authority located in the
United States, to pursue the registration and maintenance of each Patent,
Trademark, or Copyright registration or application, now or hereafter included
in the Intellectual Property Collateral of such Grantor.

 

19

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

(ii) Except as is otherwise provided in this Agreement or in the Credit
Agreement and except to the extent any such act or omission to act would not, as
deemed by the Borrower in its reasonable business judgment, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no Grantor shall do or permit any
act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any of its Intellectual Property
Collateral may lapse, be terminated, or become invalid or unenforceable or
placed in the public domain (or, in the case of a trade secret, become publicly
known).

(iii) Except as is otherwise provided in this Agreement or in the Credit
Agreement and except to the extent failure to act would not, as deemed by the
Borrower in its reasonable business judgment, reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, each Grantor shall take all reasonable steps to
preserve and protect each item of its Intellectual Property Collateral,
including, without limitation, maintaining the quality of any and all products
or services used or provided in connection with any of the Trademarks,
consistent with the quality of the products and services as of the date hereof,
and taking all reasonable steps necessary to ensure that all licensed users of
any of the Trademarks abide by the applicable license’s terms with respect to
standards of quality.

(iv) Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document prevents any Grantor
from disposing of, discontinuing the use or maintenance of, failing to pursue,
or otherwise allowing to lapse, terminate or be put into the public domain, any
of its Intellectual Property Collateral to the extent permitted by the Credit
Agreement if such Grantor determines in its reasonable business judgment that
such disposition or discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business.

Section 3.04. Other Actions. If any Grantor shall at any time (a) hold or
acquire any Instruments constituting Article 9 Collateral (excluding checks),
but other than any such Instruments evidencing an amount of less than $2,500,000
individually or (b) hold or acquire any Chattel Paper, but other than any such
Chattel Paper evidencing an amount of less than $2,500,000 individually, such
Grantor shall promptly endorse, assign and deliver the same to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, accompanied by such
instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the
Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request; provided, that
notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate value of all Instruments and
Chattel Paper that shall not be required to be so endorsed, assigned and
delivered pursuant this Section 3.04 shall not exceed $10,000,000 at any time.

 

20

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

ARTICLE 4

REMEDIES

Section 4.01. Remedies Upon Default.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it is
agreed that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to exercise any and
all rights afforded to a secured party with respect to the Obligations under the
Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law and also may (i) require each
Grantor to, and each Grantor agrees that it will at its expense and upon request
of the Administrative Agent promptly, assemble all or part of the Collateral as
directed by the Administrative Agent and make it available to the Administrative
Agent at a place and time to be designated by the Administrative Agent that is
reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) occupy any premises owned or, to the
extent lawful and permitted, leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral
or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to
effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to
such Grantor in respect of such occupation; provided that the Administrative
Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to such
occupancy; (iii) declare the entire right, title, and interest of such Grantor
in any Intellectual Property Collateral vested in the Administrative Agent for
the benefit of the Secured Parties (in which event such right, title, and
interest shall immediately vest in the Administrative Agent for the benefit of
the Secured Parties, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to exercise
the power of attorney referred to below in Section 4.03 hereof to execute, cause
to be acknowledged and notarized and to record said absolute assignment with the
applicable agency); (iv) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the
Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of
the Collateral; provided that the Administrative Agent shall provide the
applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to such exercise; and (v) subject
to the mandatory requirements of applicable law and the notice requirements
described below, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral
securing the Obligations at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or
on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the
Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate. The Administrative Agent shall be
authorized at any such sale of securities (if it deems it advisable to do so) to
restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and
agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for
investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon
consummation of any such sale the Administrative Agent shall have the right to
assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the
Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall hold the
property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any
Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all
rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at
any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or
hereafter enacted.

 

21

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

(b) The Administrative Agent shall give the applicable Grantors not less than 10
days’ written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the
meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other
jurisdictions) of the Administrative Agent’s intention to make any sale of
Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and
place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a
securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to
be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be
offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held
at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places
as the Administrative Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such
sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be
sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Administrative
Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Administrative
Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall
determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such
Collateral shall have been given. The Administrative Agent may, without notice
or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be
adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for
sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place
to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the
Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may
be retained by the Administrative Agent until the sale price is paid by the
purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Administrative Agent shall not incur
any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and
pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral
may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted
by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid
for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of
redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said
rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law),
the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on
account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party
from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party
may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such
property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes
hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof
shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Administrative Agent shall be free to
carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled
to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto,
notwithstanding the fact that after the Administrative Agent shall have entered
into such an agreement all Events of Default may have been remedied and the
Obligations may have been paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the
power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Administrative Agent may proceed by
a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the
Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or
courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court
appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the

 

22

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

provisions of this Section 4.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially
reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its
equivalent in other jurisdictions

Section 4.02. Application of Proceeds. (a) The Administrative Agent shall apply
the proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral of a Grantor, including any
Collateral consisting of cash, in the following order:

First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees,
indemnities, expenses and other amounts (other than principal and interest)
payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (including Attorney
Costs payable to the Administrative Agent under Section 10.04 of the Credit
Agreement and amounts payable under Article 3 of the Credit Agreement);

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees,

23

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

(b) Subject to Section 2.03(c) of the Credit Agreement, amounts used to Cash
Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to
clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of
Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after
all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining
amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth
above and, if no Obligations remain outstanding, to the Borrower.

(c) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Administrative Agent
shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such
proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement and the Credit
Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Administrative Agent (including
pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding),
the receipt of the Administrative Agent or of the officer making the sale shall
be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so
sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the
application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Administrative
Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication
thereof.

(d) In making the determinations and allocations required by this Section 4.02,
the Administrative Agent may conclusively rely upon information from its own
records, absent manifest error, as to the amounts of unpaid principal and
interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Obligations, and the
Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for
actions taken in reliance on such information, provided that nothing in this
clause (d) shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any amounts claimed by any
Secured Party in any information so supplied. All distributions made by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall be (subject to any
decree of any court of competent jurisdiction) final (absent manifest error),
and the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the application
by the Administrative Agent of any amounts distributed to it.

Section 4.03. Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property; Power of Attorney.
For the exclusive purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise
rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Administrative
Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each
Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive,
royalty-free, limited license to use, license or sublicense any of the
Intellectual Property Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by such
Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license
reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be
recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the
compilation or printout thereof; provided, however, that all of the foregoing
rights of the Administrative Agent to use, license or sublicense such
Intellectual Property shall expire immediately upon the termination or cure of
all Events of Default, and nothing in this Section 4.03 shall require Grantors
to grant any license that is prohibited by

 

24

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

any rule of law, statute or regulation, or is prohibited by, or constitutes a
breach or default under or results in the termination of any contract, license,
agreement, instrument or other document evidencing, giving rise to or
theretofore granted, to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement, with
respect to such property or otherwise unreasonably prejudices the value thereof
to the relevant Grantor; provided, further, that such licenses to be granted
hereunder with respect to Trademarks shall be subject to the maintenance of
quality standards with respect to the goods and services on which such
Trademarks are used sufficient to preserve the validity of such Trademarks. For
the avoidance of doubt, the use of such license by the Administrative Agent may
be exercised, at the option of the Administrative Agent, only upon the
occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided,
however, that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the
Administrative Agent with respect to the Intellectual Property Collateral in
accordance herewith shall be binding upon each Grantor notwithstanding any
subsequent cure of an Event of Default. Furthermore, each Grantor hereby grants
to the Administrative Agent an absolute power of attorney to sign, upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, any document
which may be required by the USPTO or the USCO in order to effect an absolute
assignment of all right, title and interest in each registration and application
for a Patent, Trademark or Copyright, and to record the same.

to any Grantor shall be given to it in care of the Borrower as provided in
Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 6.02. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative
Agent, any L/C Issuer or any other Secured Party in exercising any right or
power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights
and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the other Secured
Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of
any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Grantor

 

25

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

therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
paragraph (b) of this Section 6.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or
issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any
Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C
Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice
or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle any Grantor to any other or
further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or
modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into
by the Administrative Agent and the Grantor or Grantors with respect to which
such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent
required in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 6.03. Administrative Agent’s Fees, Expenses and Indemnity. (a) The
parties hereto agree that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder and to indemnification as
provided in Sections 10.04 and 10.05 of the Credit Agreement.

(b) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional
Obligations secured hereby and by the other Collateral Documents. The provisions
of this Section 6.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect
regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of
the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on
behalf of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party. All amounts due
under this Section 6.03 shall be payable within 10 days of written demand
therefor.

Section 6.04. Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of the
parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the
permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and
agreements by or on behalf of any Grantor or the Administrative Agent that are
contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their
respective successors and assigns, to the extent permitted under Section 10.07
of the Credit Agreement.

Section 6.05. Survival of Agreement. All representations and warranties made
hereunder or other document delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith
shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and shall continue in full force
and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain
unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

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

Section 6.06. Counterparts; Effectiveness, Successors and Assigns; Several

more counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts),
each of which shall be constitute an original, but all of which together shall
constitute a single contract. Delivery by facsimile or electronic transmission
of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other
Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart
of this Agreement and such other Loan Document. The Administrative Agent may
also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by facsimile or
electronic transmission be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof;
provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the
effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by facsimile or electronic
transmission. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Grantor when a
counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Grantor shall have been delivered
to the Administrative Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on
behalf of the Administrative Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such
Grantor and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns
permitted thereby, and shall inure to the benefit of such Grantor, the
Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective
successors and assigns permitted thereby, except that no Grantor shall have the
right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest
herein or in the Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void)
except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each
Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with
respect to any Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without
affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.

Section 6.07. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality,

parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal,
invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of

unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction.

of any Event of Default, each Lender and its Affiliates and each L/C Issuer and
its Affiliates shall have the rights specified in Section 10.09 of the Credit

Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into

hereunder, the Security Interest, the grant of a security interest in the

relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of
payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other

exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any

discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Obligations or this Agreement.

Section 6.12. Termination or Release. (a) This Agreement, the Security Interest

released from its obligations hereunder as provided in Section 9.11 of the
Credit Agreement; provided that the Lenders shall have consented to

 

28

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

such transaction (to the extent required by the Credit Agreement) and the terms
of such consent did not provide otherwise.

(c) Upon any sale or other transfer by any Grantor of any Collateral that is
permitted under the Credit Agreement to any Person that is not, and is not
required to be a Loan Party, or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to
the release of the security interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant
to Section 9.11 of the Credit Agreement, the security interest in such
Collateral (but not the Proceeds thereof) shall be automatically released.

(d) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a),
(b) or (c) of this Section 6.12, the Administrative Agent shall execute and
deliver to any Grantor, at such Grantor’s expense, all documents that such
Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release, in
each case in accordance with the terms of Section 9.11 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 6.11 of the Credit Agreement shall execute and deliver a Security
Agreement Supplement and thereupon such Material Domestic Subsidiary shall

as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not
require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder. The rights and obligations
of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding
the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.

Section 6.14. Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-fact. Each Grantor
hereby appoints the Administrative Agent the attorney-in-fact of such Grantor

Administrative Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the

Borrower of its intent to exercise such rights, with full power of substitution

make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the
Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the
purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Administrative
Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes; provided that

Administrative Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the
nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Administrative Agent, or to

Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect

documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent

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

Section 6.15. General Authority of the Administrative Agent. By acceptance of
the benefits of this Agreement and any other Collateral Documents, each Secured
Party (whether or not a signatory hereto) shall be deemed irrevocably (a) to
consent to the appointment of the Administrative Agent as its agent hereunder
and under such other Collateral Documents, (b) to confirm that the
Administrative Agent shall have the authority to act as the exclusive agent of
such Secured Party for the enforcement of any provisions of this Agreement and
such other Collateral Documents against any Grantor, the exercise of remedies
hereunder or thereunder and the giving or withholding of any consent or approval
hereunder or thereunder relating to any Collateral or any Grantor’s obligations
with respect thereto, (c) to agree that it shall not take any action to enforce
any provisions of this Agreement or any other Collateral Document against any
Grantor, to exercise any remedy hereunder or thereunder or to give any consents
or approvals hereunder or thereunder except as expressly provided in this
Agreement or any other Collateral Document and (d) to agree to be bound by the
terms of this Agreement and any other Collateral Documents.

Section 6.16. Reasonable Care; Limitation of Duties. The Administrative Agent is
required to exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of
the Collateral in its possession; provided that the Administrative Agent shall
be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of
any of the Collateral, if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially
similar to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property.

Section 6.17. Subordination, Etc. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, until such time as the Obligations (other than
obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements and Cash Management Obligations)
shall have been paid in full in cash, all rights of any Grantor to indemnity,
contribution or subrogation arising under applicable law or otherwise in favor
of such Grantor as against any other Grantor as a result of the sale pursuant to
this Agreement or any other Security Document of any assets of such Grantor to
satisfy in whole or in part an obligation owed to any Secured Party shall be
fully subordinated to the payment in full in cash of the Obligations. No failure
on the part of the Borrower or any other Grantor to make any payments in respect
of indemnity, contribution or subrogation rights or obligations required under
applicable law or otherwise shall in any respect limit the obligations and
liabilities of any Grantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each
Grantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such
Grantor hereunder.
