(i)    The Obligors will cause the Pledged Shares to constitute at all times (1) 100% of the total number of Equity Interests of each Issuer other than a Foreign Subsidiary or Foreign Subsidiary Holding Company then outstanding, owned by the Obligors and (2) in the case of any Issuer that is a Foreign Subsidiary of Foreign Subsidiary Holding Company, 65% of the total number of Equity Interests of voting stock of such Issuer and 100% of the total number of Equity Interests of all other classes of Equity Interests of such Issuer then issued and outstanding owned by the Obligors.
(ii)    Until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Obligors shall have the right to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Pledged Shares for all purposes not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any other agreement relating to any Secured Obligation, provided that the Obligors jointly and severally agree that they will not vote the Pledged Shares in any manner that is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any other agreement relating to any Secured Obligation, or in any manner materially adverse to the Collateral Agent’s or Lenders’ rights, remedies or interest in any of the Credit Documents; and, at the sole expense of the Obligors, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to the Obligors or cause to be executed and delivered to the Obligors all such proxies, powers of attorney, dividend and other orders, and all such instruments, without recourse, as the Obligors may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling the Obligors to exercise the rights and powers that they are entitled to exercise pursuant to this Section 4.04(a)(ii).
(iii)    Unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Obligors shall be entitled to receive and retain any dividends and other distributions or other Proceeds on the Pledged Shares for all purposes not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any other agreement relating to any Secured Obligation; provided, that any non-cash dividends, distributions or Proceeds shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent to hold as Collateral pursuant to Section 4.01.


10






(iv)    If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, whether or not the Secured Parties or any of them exercise any available right to declare any Secured Obligations due and payable or seek or pursue any other relief or remedy available to them under applicable law or under this Agreement, the Credit Documents or any other agreement relating to such Secured Obligation, upon written notice from the Collateral Agent to the Borrower, all rights of the Obligors under clause (ii) shall cease and be vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights, and all dividends and other distributions or other Proceeds on the Pledged Shares shall be paid directly to the Collateral Agent and retained by it in a segregated account (the “Collateral Account”) as part of the Collateral, subject to the terms of this Agreement, and, if the Requisite Lenders shall so request in writing, the Obligors jointly and severally agree to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent appropriate additional dividend, distribution and other orders and documents to that end, provided that if such Event of Default is cured or waived, and notice of the same delivered in writing to the Collateral Agent by the Requisite Lenders any such dividend or distribution theretofore paid to the Collateral Agent then held in the Collateral Account shall, upon request of the Obligors (except to the extent theretofore applied to the Secured Obligations), be returned by the Collateral Agent to the Obligors. All dividends and distributions or other Proceeds which are received by any Obligor contrary to the provisions of Section 4.04(a)(iii) or (iv) hereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Obligor and shall immediately be paid over to the Collateral Agent as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement). 
(v)    Each Obligor hereby expressly authorizes each Issuer of any Pledged Shares pledged hereunder and each such Issuer that is an Obligor hereby agrees to (A) comply with any Instruction received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing (acting at the direction of the Requisite Lenders) that (I) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (II) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further Instructions from such Obligor, and such Obligor agrees that such Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying and (B) to the extent expressly required hereby, pay any dividend or other payment with respect to the Pledged Shares directly to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.  The Collateral Agent hereby agrees with the Obligors that it shall not issue any such Instruction unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
(b)    Intellectual Property.
(i)    For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under Section 4.05 at the direction of the Requisite Lenders at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each Obligor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Obligor) to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Obligor, wherever the same may be located, including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.


11






(ii)    Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Obligors will be permitted to exploit, use, enjoy, protect, license, sublicense, assign, sell, dispose of or take other actions with respect to the Intellectual Property to the extent permitted under Section 6.8 of the Credit Agreement.  In furtherance of the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall from time to time, at the expense of the respective Obligor, upon the reasonable request of the respective Obligor, execute and deliver any instruments, certificates or other documents, in the form so requested, that are appropriate in such Obligor’s judgment to allow it to take any action permitted above.  Further, when all Secured Obligations (other than obligations in respect of any Hedging Agreement or inchoate or contingent indemnity claims) have been Paid in Full and all Commitments have terminated or expired, the license granted pursuant to clause (i) immediately above shall automatically terminate and the Collateral Agent shall promptly execute any documents or agreements reasonably requested by the Obligors in respect thereof.  The exercise of rights and remedies under Section 4.05 by the Collateral Agent shall not terminate the rights of the holders of any licenses or sublicenses in respect of any Collateral theretofore granted by the Obligors.
(iii)    With respect to material Intellectual Property that is owned by an Obligor, each Obligor shall, to the extent determined by such Obligor in its reasonable business judgment to be necessary in the operation of such Obligor’s business, to use commercially reasonable efforts, (A) to promptly sue for infringement, misappropriation, or dilution with respect to such Intellectual Property and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation, or dilution, (B) to prosecute diligently any trademark application or service mark application that is part of the material Trademarks pending as of the date hereof or hereafter until the termination of this Agreement, (C) to prosecute diligently any patent application that is part of the material Patents pending as of the date hereof or hereafter until the termination of this Agreement and (D) to take all reasonable and necessary action to preserve and maintain all of such Obligor’s material Trademarks, Patents, Copyrights, domain names, other material Intellectual Property, Intellectual Property licenses, and its material rights therein, including filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use and affidavits of noncontestability and opposition and interference and cancellation proceedings.  Each Obligor hereby agrees to take the steps described in this Section 4.04(b)(iii) with respect to all new or acquired material Intellectual Property to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is now or later becomes entitled.  Each Obligor shall promptly file an application with the United States Copyright Office for any Copyright that has not been registered with the United States Copyright Office if such Copyright is material to the business of the Obligors, taken as a whole, in each case, to the extent determined by such Obligor in its reasonable business judgment to be necessary in the operation of such Obligor’s business.  Any expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing shall be borne by the appropriate Obligor.  Each Obligor further agrees not to abandon any material Trademark, Patent, Copyright or Intellectual Property license (except in dispositions not prohibited by the Credit Documents), to the extent determined by such Obligor in its reasonable business judgment to be necessary in the operation of such Obligor’s business.
(iv)    Obligors acknowledge and agree that the Secured Parties shall have no duties with respect to the Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property licenses.  Without limiting the generality of this Section 4.04(b)(iv), Obligors acknowledge and agree that no Secured Party shall be under any obligation to take any steps necessary to preserve rights in the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property licenses against any other Person, but any member of the Secured Parties may do so at its option if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Obligors have failed to perform such obligations as required under this Section 4.04(b), and all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be paid by the Borrower to the extent required pursuant to Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement.
(v)    Concurrently with the delivery of quarterly financial statements by the Borrower in accordance with Section 5.1(a) of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall give the Collateral Agent notice of any new acquisition or exclusive license of any registration of any Copyright with the United States Copyright Office; and
12






(vi)    Concurrently with the delivery of quarterly financial statements by the Borrower in accordance with Section 5.1(a) of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall give the Collateral Agent written notice of any new acquisition by an Obligor of all material Patents or Trademarks registrations or for which an application for the registration of any such material Patent or Trademark with the PTO has been filed during the quarter to which such financial statements relate.
(c)    Chattel Paper.  Each Obligor shall (i) deliver to the Collateral Agent each original of each item of Chattel Paper valued in excess of $500,000 and (ii) if requested by the Requisite Lenders, cause each such original and each copy thereof to bear a conspicuous legend, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Requisite Lenders, indicating that such Chattel Paper is subject to the security interest granted hereby and that purchase of such Chattel Paper by a Person other than the Collateral Agent without the consent of the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Requisite Lenders) may violate the rights of the Collateral Agent.
(d)    Control Agreements.  Each Obligor shall obtain a Control Agreement from each securities intermediary or commodities intermediary issuing or holding any Financial Assets or commodities to or for any Obligor, in each case to the extent required pursuant to Section 5.13 of the Credit Agreement.
(e)    Letter-of-Credit Rights.  Each Obligor that is or becomes the beneficiary of a letter of credit with a value in excess of $500,000 shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after becoming a beneficiary), notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, upon the request by the Requisite Lenders, use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a tri-party agreement with the Collateral Agent and the issuer or confirming bank with respect to Letter-of-Credit Rights assigning such Letter-of-Credit Rights to the Collateral Agent and directing all payments thereunder to the Collateral Agent’s Account, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Requisite Lenders.
(f)    Commercial Tort Claims.  Each Obligor agrees that, if it shall acquire any interest in any Commercial Tort Claim, (i) such Obligor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent of the existence and nature of such Commercial Tort Claim and deliver a supplement to Annex 6 containing a reasonable description of such Commercial Tort Claim, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Requisite Lenders, and (ii) Section 3 shall apply to such Commercial Tort Claim.  Any supplement to Annex 6 delivered pursuant to this Section 4.04(f) shall, after the receipt thereof by the Collateral Agent, become part of Annex 6 for all purposes hereunder other than in respect of representations and warranties made prior to the date of such receipt.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the requirements of this Section 4.04(f) shall not apply to a Commercial Tort Claim with a value of less than $500,000.
4.05    Remedies.
(a)    Rights and Remedies Generally upon an Event of Default.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC is in effect in the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted) and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights and remedies hereunder may be asserted, including the right, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if the Collateral Agent were the sole and absolute owner thereof; and without limiting the foregoing:
(i)    the Collateral Agent may, in its name or in the name of any Obligor or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or other property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral, but shall be under no obligation to do so;
(ii)    the Collateral Agent may make any reasonable compromise or settlement deemed desirable with respect to any of the Collateral and may extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in installments, or otherwise modify the terms of, any of the Collateral;
13






(iii)    the Collateral Agent may require the Obligors to notify (and each Obligor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to so notify) each account debtor in respect of any Account, Chattel Paper or General Intangible, and each obligor on any Instrument, constituting part of the Collateral that such Collateral has been assigned to the Collateral Agent hereunder, and to instruct that any payments due or to become due in respect of such Collateral shall be made directly to the Collateral Agent or as it may direct (and if any such payments, or any other Proceeds of Collateral, are received by any Obligor they shall be held in trust by such Obligor for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and as promptly as possible remitted or delivered to the Collateral Agent for application as provided herein);
(iv)    the Collateral Agent may require the Obligors to assemble the Collateral at such place or places, reasonably convenient to the Collateral Agent and the Obligors, as the Collateral Agent may direct;
(v)    the Collateral Agent may require the Obligors to cause the Pledged Shares to be transferred into the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee (and the Collateral Agent agrees that if any of such Pledged Shares are transferred into its name or the name of its nominee, the Collateral Agent will thereafter promptly give to respective the Obligor (through the Borrower) copies of any notices and communications received by it with respect to such Pledged Shares); and
(vi)    the Collateral Agent may sell, lease, license, sublicense, assign or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, at such place or places as the Collateral Agent deems best, and for cash or for credit or for future delivery (without thereby assuming any credit risk), at public or private sale, without demand of performance or notice of intention to effect any such disposition or of the time or place thereof (except such notice as is required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or anyone else may be the purchaser, lessee, assignee or recipient of any or all of the Collateral so disposed of at any public sale (or, to the extent permitted by law, at any private sale) and thereafter hold the same absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any right or equity of redemption (statutory or otherwise), of the Obligors, any such demand, notice and right or equity being hereby expressly waived and released.  The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the sale may be so adjourned.
The Proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this Section 4.05, including by virtue of the exercise of any license granted to the Collateral Agent in Section 4.04(b), shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.09.
(b)    Certain Securities Act Limitations.  The Obligors recognize that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable federal, foreign or state securities laws, or otherwise, the Collateral Agent may determine that a public sale is impracticable, not desirable or not commercially reasonable and may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  The Obligors acknowledge that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agree that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for public sale.


14






(c)    Other acts.  Each Obligor agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Shares pursuant to this Section 4.05 valid and binding and in compliance with all other applicable legal requirements.  Each Obligor further agrees that a breach of any covenant contained in this Section 4.05 will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Parties, that the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 4.05 shall be specifically enforceable against such Obligor, and such Obligor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defense against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Credit Agreement.
(d)    Notice.  The Obligors agree that to the extent the Collateral Agent is required by applicable law to give reasonable prior notice of any sale or other disposition of any Collateral, ten (10) days’ notice shall be deemed to constitute reasonable prior notice.
4.06    Deficiency.  If the Proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Collateral pursuant to Section 4.05 are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, the Obligors shall remain liable for any deficiency.
4.07    Locations; Names, Etc. Without at least twenty (20) days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Agent, no Obligor shall agree to or authorize any modification of the terms of any items of Collateral that would result in a change thereof from one UCC category to another such category (such as from General Intangible to Investment Property), if the effect of any such change would be to result in a loss of perfection of, or diminution of priority for, the security interests created hereunder in such item of Collateral, or the loss of control (within the meaning of Section 9-104, 9-105, 9-106 or 9-107 of the UCC) over such item of Collateral.   
4.08    Private Sale.  The Secured Parties shall incur no liability as to the Obligors as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to Section 4.05 conducted in a commercially reasonable manner.  Each Obligor hereby waives any claims against the Secured Parties arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree.
4.09    Application of Proceeds.  The Proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the Collateral pursuant hereto, and any other cash at the time held by the Collateral Agent under this Section 4, shall be applied by the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 8.2 of the Credit Agreement. 
4.10    Attorney-in-Fact.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default the Collateral Agent is hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact of each Obligor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section 4 and taking any action and executing any instruments that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as the Collateral Agent shall be entitled under this Section 4 to make collections in respect of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of any Obligor representing any dividend, payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Collateral Agent, or, unless directed by the Requisite Lenders, to present or file any claim or notice, or, unless directed by the Requisite Lenders, to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby. 


15






4.11    Perfection and Recordation.  Each Obligor authorizes the Collateral Agent to file (a) UCC financing statements and amendments thereto, including financing statements describing the Collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property” of such Obligor (provided that no such description shall be deemed to modify the description of Collateral set forth in Section 3); and (b) any Trademarks Security Agreement in the form of Exhibit A hereto and/or Patents Security Agreement in the form of Exhibit B hereto with the PTO and any Copyrights Security Agreement with the United States Copyright Office in the form of Exhibit C hereto required in order to perfect any Lien granted pursuant to Section 4 in Trademark Collateral, Patent Collateral or Copyright Collateral, respectively.
4.12    Termination; Releases.  When all Secured Obligations (other than obligations in respect of any Hedging Agreement) shall have been Paid in Full and all Commitments have terminated or expired, this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Collateral Agent and each Obligor hereunder shall terminate, and the Collateral Agent shall forthwith cause to be assigned, transferred and delivered, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, any remaining Collateral and money or Proceeds received in respect thereof, to or on the order of the respective Obligor and to be released and canceled all licenses and other rights granted hereunder.  The Collateral Agent shall also, at the expense of such Obligor, and without representation by or recourse to the Collateral Agent, execute and deliver to the respective Obligor upon such termination such UCC amendments or termination statements and such other documentation as shall be reasonably requested by the respective Obligor to effect the termination and release of the Liens on the Collateral as required by this Section 4.12. The Collateral Agent is authorized to (i) release and terminate the security interests granted hereby in applicable Collateral at the time or times and in the manner set forth in Section 9.10 of the Credit Agreement and (ii) release any Guarantor from its obligations under this Agreement at the time or times and in the manner set forth in Section 9.10 of the Credit Agreement. In addition, upon any sale or disposition of any item of Collateral in a transaction expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent agrees to execute a release of its security interest in such item of Collateral, and the Collateral Agent shall, upon the reasonable request of the Obligors and at the Obligors’ cost and expense, execute and deliver to the Obligors such documents as the Obligors shall reasonably request to evidence such release, without representation, warranty or recourse of any kind.  
4.13    Further Assurances.  Each Obligor agrees that, from time to time upon the written request of the Requisite Lenders, such Obligor will execute and deliver such further documents and do such other acts and things as the Requisite Lenders may reasonably request in order fully to effect the provisions of this Agreement.  The Collateral Agent, at the expense of such Obligor, and without representation by or recourse to the Collateral Agent, shall promptly release any Lien covering any asset that has been disposed of pursuant to Section 6.8 of the Credit Agreement (other than to an Obligor) or that has been disposed of with the consent of the Requisite Lenders under the Credit Agreement.
Section 5.    Miscellaneous.
5.01    Notices Generally.  (a)  Any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given to an Obligor, the Collateral Agent shall be sent to such Person’s address as set forth at its “Address for Notices” specified beneath its name on the signature pages hereto.  Except as otherwise set forth in Section 5.01(b), each notice hereunder shall be in writing and may be personally served or sent by telefacsimile (except for any notices sent to the Collateral Agent) or United States mail or courier service and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by courier service and signed for against receipt thereof, upon receipt of telefacsimile, or three Business Days after depositing it in the United States mail with postage prepaid and properly addressed; provided, no notice to the Collateral Agent shall be effective until received by the Collateral Agent; provided further, any such notice or other communication shall at the request of the Administrative Agent be provided to any sub-agent appointed pursuant to Section 9.5 of the Credit Agreement as designated by the Collateral Agent from time to time.

16






5.02    No Waiver.  No failure on the part of any Secured Party to exercise, and no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by any Secured Party of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.  The remedies herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
