               SECTION 2. GUARANTEE



          2.1. Guarantee.



          (a) Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably,
guarantees to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the prompt and complete payment
and performance by the Company when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) of each and all of the Company Obligations.



          (b) Each Guarantor shall be liable under its guarantee set forth in Section 2.1(a),
without any limitation as to amount, for all present and future Company Obligations, including
specifically all Additional Notes issued under the Indenture and other future increases in the
Company Obligations, whether or not any such increase is contemplated or provided for by the Note
Documents on the date hereof; provided, that (i) enforcement of such guarantee against such
Guarantor will be limited as necessary to limit the recovery under such guarantee to the maximum
amount which may be recovered without causing such enforcement or recovery to constitute a
fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance under any applicable law, including any applicable
federal or state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance law (after giving effect, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, to the reimbursement and contribution rights set forth in
Section 2.2) and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the foregoing
clause (i) shall be for the benefit solely of creditors and representatives of creditors of each
Guarantor and not for the benefit of such Guarantor or the holders of any Capital Stock in such
Guarantor. For the avoidance of doubt, the application of the provisions of this Section
2.1(b) or any similar provisions in any other Note Document: (x) is automatic to the extent
applicable, (y) is not an amendment or modification of this Agreement or any other Note Document
and (z) does not require the consent or approval of any Person.



          (c) The guarantee contained in this Section 2.1 (i) shall remain in full force and
effect until all the Company Obligations and the obligations of each Guarantor under the guarantee
contained in this Section 2.1 have been paid in full, notwithstanding that from time to
time during the term of the Indenture the Company may be free from any Company Obligations, (ii)
unless released as provided in clause (iii) below, shall survive the repayment of the Notes under
the Indenture and the release of the Collateral and remain enforceable as to all Company
Obligations that survive such repayment, termination and release and (iii) shall be released when
and as set forth in Section 8.15(a) or (b).



          (d) No payment made by the Company, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other
Person or received or collected by any Secured Party from the Company, any of the Guarantors, any
other guarantor 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
Company Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of
any Guarantor hereunder in respect of any other Company Obligations then outstanding or thereafter
incurred.

          2.2. Reimbursement, Contribution and Subrogation. In case any payment is made on
account of the Company Obligations by any Grantor or is received or collected on account of the
Company Obligations from any Grantor or its property:



          (a) If such payment is made by the Company or from its property, the Company shall not be
entitled (i) to demand or enforce reimbursement or contribution in respect of such payment from any
other Guarantor or (ii) to be subrogated to any claim, interest, right or remedy of any Secured
Party against any other Person, including any other Guarantor or its property.



          (b) If such payment is made by the Company or from its property or if any payment is made by
the Company or from its property in satisfaction of the reimbursement right of any Guarantor set
forth in Section 2.2(c), the Company shall not be entitled (i) to demand or enforce
reimbursement or contribution in respect of such payment from any other Guarantor or (ii) to be
subrogated to any claim, interest, right or remedy of any Secured Party against any other Person,
including any other Guarantor or its property, until payment in full of all outstanding
Obligations.



          (c) If such payment is made by a Guarantor or from its property, such Guarantor shall be
entitled, subject to and upon payment in full of all outstanding Obligations, (i) to demand and
enforce reimbursement for the full amount of such payment from the Company and (ii) to demand and
enforce contribution in respect of such payment from each other Guarantor which has not paid its
fair share of such payment, as necessary to ensure that (after giving effect to any enforcement of
reimbursement rights provided hereby) each Guarantor pays its fair share of the unreimbursed
portion of such payment. For this purpose, the fair share of each Guarantor as to any unreimbursed
payment shall be determined based on an equitable apportionment of such unreimbursed payment among
all Guarantors based on the relative value of their assets (net of their liabilities, other than
Obligations) and any other equitable considerations deemed appropriate by the court.



          (d) If and whenever any right of reimbursement or contribution becomes enforceable by any
Guarantor against any other Guarantor under Section 2.2(c), such Guarantor shall be
entitled, subject to and upon payment in full of all outstanding Obligations, to be subrogated
(equally and ratably with all other Guarantors entitled to reimbursement or contribution from any
other Guarantor under Section 2.2(c)) to any security interest that may then be held by the
Collateral Agent upon any Collateral granted to it in this Agreement. To the fullest extent
permitted under applicable law, such right of subrogation shall be enforceable solely against the
Company and the Guarantors, and not against the Secured Parties, and neither the Collateral Agent,
Trustee nor any other Secured Party shall have any duty whatsoever to warrant, ensure or protect
any such right of subrogation or to obtain, perfect, maintain, hold, enforce or retain any
Collateral for any purpose related to any such right of subrogation. If subrogation is demanded in
writing by any Guarantor, then (subject to and upon payment in full of all outstanding Obligations)
the Trustee shall deliver to the Guarantors making such demand, or to a representative of such
Guarantors or of the Guarantors generally, an instrument reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee
transferring, on a quitclaim basis without (to the fullest
extent permitted under applicable law) any recourse, representation, warranty or obligation



12









Table of Contents




whatsoever, whatever security interest the Trustee may then hold in whatever Collateral may then
exist that was not previously released or disposed of by the Trustee.




          (e) All rights and claims arising under this Section 2.2 or based upon or relating to
any other right of reimbursement, indemnification, contribution or subrogation that may at any time
arise or exist in favor of any Guarantor as to any payment on account of the Obligations made by it
or received or collected from its property shall be fully subordinated in all respects to the prior
payment in full of all of the Obligations. Until payment in full of the Obligations, no Guarantor
shall demand or receive any collateral security, payment or distribution whatsoever (whether in
cash, property or securities or otherwise) on account of any such right or claim. If any such
payment or distribution is made or becomes available to any Guarantor, such payment or distribution
shall be delivered by the person making such payment or distribution directly to the Trustee, for
application to the payment of the Obligations in accordance with Section 6.5. If any such
payment or distribution is received by any Guarantor, it shall be held by such Guarantor in trust,
as trustee of an express trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall forthwith be
transferred and delivered by such Guarantor to the Trustee, in the exact form received and, if
necessary, duly endorsed.




          (f) The obligations of the Guarantors under the Note Documents, including their liability for
the Obligations and the enforceability of the security interests granted thereby, are not
contingent upon the validity, legality, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of any right
of reimbursement, contribution or subrogation arising under this Section 2.2. To the
fullest extent permitted under applicable law, the invalidity, insufficiency, unenforceability or
uncollectibility of any such right shall not in any respect diminish, affect or impair any such
obligation or any other claim, interest, right or remedy at any time held by any Secured Party
against any Guarantor or its property. The Secured Parties make no representations or warranties
in respect of any such right and shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, have
no duty to assure, protect, enforce or ensure any such right or otherwise relating to any such
right.




          (g) Each Guarantor reserves any and all other rights of reimbursement, contribution or
subrogation at any time available to it as against any other Guarantor, but (i) the exercise and
enforcement of such rights shall be subject to this Section 2.2 and (ii) to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, neither the Collateral Agent, Trustee nor any other Secured
Party shall ever have any duty or liability whatsoever in respect of any such right.




          2.3. Amendments, etc. with respect to the Company Obligations. To the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, 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 Company Obligations made by any Secured Party
may be rescinded by such Secured Party and any of the Company Obligations continued, and the
Company Obligations, 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 part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised,
waived, surrendered or released by any Secured Party, and the Indenture and the other Note
Documents and any other
documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, amended and restated,
supplemented, replaced, refinanced, otherwise modified or terminated, in whole or in part, as the
Trustee (or the



13









Table of Contents






requisite Secured Parties) may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral
security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by any Secured Party for the payment of the
Company Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. No Secured Party
shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as
security for the Company Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or
any property subject thereto, except to the extent required by applicable law.




          2.4. Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or
accrual of any of the Company Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party
upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in
this Section 2. The Company Obligations, and each 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 Section 2. All dealings between the Company and any
of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be
conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in
this Section 2. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives
diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon
the Company or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Company Obligations. Each Guarantor
understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be construed,
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as a continuing, absolute and unconditional
guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Indenture or any
other Note Document, any of the Company Obligations 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 any
Secured Party, (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 the Company or any other
Person against any Secured Party, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice
to or knowledge of the Company or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to
constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Company for the Company Obligations or of such
Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other
instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder
against any Guarantor, any Secured Party 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 the Company, any
other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Company
Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by any Secured Party to
make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the
Company, 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 the Company, 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 any Secured
Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and
continuance of any legal proceedings.




          2.5. Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be
reinstated and shall remain in all respects enforceable to the extent that, at any time, any
payment of any of the Company Obligations is set aside, avoided or rescinded or must otherwise be




14









Table of Contents







restored or returned by any Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation
or reorganization of the Company 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, the Company or any
Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, in whole or in part, and such
reinstatement and enforceability shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be
effective as fully as if such payment had not been made.




          2.6. Payments. Each Guarantor hereby agrees to pay all amounts payable by it under this
Section 2 to the Trustee without set-off or counterclaim in Dollars in immediately
available funds at the place of payment specified in the Indenture.

security interest in all of the following property now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by
such Grantor or in which such Grantor now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right,

UCC) over such Pledged LLC Interests or Pledged Partnership Interests, as applicable.



          5.9. Receivables. Other than in the ordinary course of business or as permitted by

Receivable, (ii) compromise or settle any Receivable for a material amount less than the full
amount thereof, (iii) release, wholly or partially, any Person liable for the payment of any
Receivable or (iv) allow any additional credit or discount on any Receivable except for those

Table of Contents






(a) On a continuing basis, each Grantor shall, at its sole cost and expense:




     (i) except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect, promptly following its becoming aware thereof, notify the
Collateral Agent of (1) the institution of any material proceeding in any court,
administrative or other governmental body or in the PTO or the United States
Copyright Office, or any adverse determination in any such material proceeding (but
not with respect to routine and immaterial office actions or other similar
determinations in the ordinary course of prosecution before the PTO or the United
States Copyright Office or any foreign counterpart), regarding the validity or
enforceability of any material Intellectual Property included in the Collateral, or
such Grantor’s right to register, own or use such Intellectual Property; or (2) any
events which may reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to
materially and adversely affect the value of any Intellectual Property included in
the Collateral or the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent in relation
thereto;




     (ii) except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect, not abandon, dedicate to the public, or permit to lapse,
any Intellectual Property included in the Collateral;




     (iii) except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect, take commercially reasonable actions to protect
against and prosecute infringements, dilutions, misappropriations, and other
violations of Intellectual Property included in the Collateral (including, without
limitation, commencement of a suit), and not settle or compromise any pending or
future litigation or administrative proceeding with respect to any Intellectual
Property, except as shall be consistent with commercially reasonable business
judgment and in a manner that would not reasonably be expected, individually or in
the aggregate, to materially and adversely affect the value of any Intellectual
Property included in the Collateral or the rights and remedies of the Collateral
Agent in relation thereto;




     (iv) not grant any exclusive license to any other Person with respect to any
material Intellectual Property included in the Collateral, other than as expressly
permitted by the Indenture, or consent to amend any Intellectual Property License in
a manner that (1) would materially detract from the value of the Collateral taken as
a whole or materially interfere with the ordinary conduct of the business of the
Grantors or (2) could reasonably be likely to materially and adversely affect the
Lien on a material portion of the Intellectual Property included in the Collateral
created hereby;




     (v) adequately control the quality of goods and services offered by any
licensees of its material Trademarks necessary for the conduct of its business to
maintain such standards;



27









Table of Contents






     (vi) not take any act or knowingly omit to take any act whereby any material
Intellectual Property included in the Collateral may become forfeited, dedicated to
the public, abandoned, invalidated or materially impaired in any way;




     (vii) take all commercially reasonable steps necessary to protect the
confidentiality of all of its material trade secrets;




     (viii) except where failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, evaluate its disaster recovery and backup needs on a
reasonably continuous basis and implement plans and systems that reasonably address
its assessment of risk; and




     (ix) not deliver, license or make available the source code for any material
software included in the Collateral to any Person who is not an employee of Grantor,
and not subject any material software included in the Collateral to the terms of any
“open source” or other similar license that provides for any source code of such
software to be disclosed, licensed, publicly distributed, or dedicated to the
public, in each case other than in the ordinary course of business as generally
conducted by the Grantor over a period of time or otherwise consistent with
commercially reasonable business judgment.



          (b) If any Grantor shall, at any time after the date hereof, obtain any ownership or other
rights in and to any additional Intellectual Property (other than Excluded Assets), then the
provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto and any such Intellectual Property
shall automatically constitute Collateral and shall be subject to the security interest created by
this Agreement, without further action by any party (except as expressly set forth in Section
3 hereof). Within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year, each Grantor shall
promptly provide to the Collateral Agent written notice of any such Intellectual Property which is
the subject of a registration or application in the PTO or United States Copyright Office
(including Intellectual Property included in the Collateral which was theretofore unregistered and
becomes the subject of a registration or application) and deliver to the Collateral Agent a
Copyright Security Agreement, a Patent Security Agreement or a Trademark Security Agreement, as
applicable, or such other instrument in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Collateral
Agent, and undertake the filing of any instruments or statements as shall be reasonably necessary
to evidence, record or perfect the Collateral Agent’s security interest in such Intellectual
Property. Further, in connection with such written notice provided in the immediately preceding
sentence, each Grantor shall prepare and deliver to the Collateral Agent an amended Schedule
6 to include any applications or registrations for Intellectual Property included in the
Collateral (but the failure to so modify such Schedules shall not be deemed to affect the
Collateral Agent’s security interest in or lien upon such Intellectual Property).




          (c) Such Grantor agrees to execute a Copyright Security Agreement in substantially the form of
Annex III-A, a Patent Security Agreement in substantially the form of Annex III-B
and a Trademark Security Agreement in substantially the form of Annex III-C, as applicable
in order to record the security interest granted herein to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of
the Secured Parties with the PTO and the United States Copyright Office, as applicable.

          (d) Upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, such Grantor shall execute and
deliver, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be filed, registered or recorded,
any and all agreements, instruments, documents, and papers which the Collateral Agent may
reasonably request to evidence, create, record, preserve, protect or perfect the Collateral Agent’s
security interest in any Intellectual Property included in the Collateral.




          5.12. Limitation on Liens on Collateral. Such Grantor shall not create, incur or
permit to exist, will defend the Collateral against, and take such other action as is necessary to
remove, any Lien or claim on or to the Collateral, other than Liens permitted pursuant to the
Indenture, and will defend the right, title and interest of the Collateral Agent and the other
Secured Parties and the other holders of the Obligations in and to any of the Collateral against
the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.




          5.13. Limitations on Dispositions of Collateral. Such Grantor shall not sell,
transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, except as expressly permitted
pursuant to the Indenture.




          5.14. Limitations on Discounts, Compromises, Extensions of Receivables. Such Grantor
shall not grant any extension of the time of payment of any of the Receivables, compromise,
compound or settle the same for less than the full amount thereof, release, wholly or partially,
any Person liable for the payment thereof, or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon,
other than in the ordinary course of business as generally conducted by the Company over a period
of time or otherwise consistent with commercially reasonable business judgment.




          5.15. [Intentionally Omitted].




          5.16. Letter-of-Credit Rights. Such Grantor shall instruct all issuers and nominated
persons under letters of credit for an amount in excess of $500,000 under which the Grantor is the
beneficiary or assignee (including the letters of credit described on Schedule 7) to make
all payments thereunder to the Collateral Account.




          5.17. Commercial Tort Claims. With respect to any Commercial Tort Claims in excess of
$500,000 individually or $1,000,000 in the aggregate in value, it shall deliver to the Collateral
Agent a completed pledge supplement, substantially in the form of Annex IV attached hereto.




          5.18. Collateral in the Possession of a Bailee. If any Grantor’s Inventory or other
Goods are at any time in the possession of a bailee located in the United States, an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, and the fair market value of such Inventory or Goods in the
possession of such bailee exceeds $500,000, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent
thereof and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly obtain an acknowledgement from
such bailee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

               SECTION
6. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS




          6.1.
Certain Matters Relating to Receivables.





          (a) The Collateral Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Receivables,
and the Collateral Agent may curtail or terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default and the exercise of remedies under Section 6 of
the Indenture. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default
and the exercise of remedies under Section 6 of the Indenture, any payments of Receivables, when
collected by any Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days of
receipt by such Grantor) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by
such Grantor to the Collateral Agent if required, in a Collateral Account maintained under the sole
dominion and control of the Collateral Agent, subject to withdrawal by the Collateral Agent for the
account of the Secured Parties only as provided in Section 6.5, and (ii) until so turned
over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties,
segregated from other funds of such Grantor.




          (b) During the continuance of an Event of Default and upon the exercise of remedies under
Section 6 of the Indenture, each Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent all original and
other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the
Receivables, including all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.




          6.2. Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable.




          (a) At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the
Collateral Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, (and each Grantor at the request of the
Collateral Agent shall) notify obligors on the Receivables and parties to the Contracts that the
Receivables and the Contracts have been assigned to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the
Secured Parties and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Collateral
Agent.




          (b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under
each of such Grantor’s Receivables and Contracts to observe and perform all the conditions and
obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any
agreement giving rise thereto. No Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any
Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract by reason of or arising out of this
Agreement or the receipt by any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall any
Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or
pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract, to make any payment,
to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the
sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any
action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been
assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

          6.3. Investment Property.




          (a) Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Collateral Agent has
given notice to the relevant Grantor of the Collateral Agent’s intent to exercise its rights
pursuant to Section 6.3(b), each Grantor may receive all cash dividends paid in respect of
the Pledged Stock and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes to the extent permitted in
the Indenture, and may exercise all voting and corporate or other organizational rights with
respect to Investment Property; provided, that no vote shall be cast or corporate or other
organizational right exercised or other action taken (other than in connection with a transaction
permitted by the Indenture) which would impair the Collateral or the Collateral Agent’s security
interest therein or result in any violation of any provision of any Note Document. In the case of
ULC Shares, (i) the provisions of this Section 6.3(a) are subject to Section 8.18 of this
Agreement, (ii) the rights of the Grantor are described for greater certainty only and (iii)
nothing in this paragraph creates any rights of the Collateral Agent against the ULC Issuer.




          (b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall give
ten (10) calendar days prior written notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant
Grantor or Grantors, (i) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to receive, or, in the case of
ULC Shares, the applicable Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent, any and all cash
dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Investment Property and shall make
application thereof to the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 6.5, and (ii)
except in the case of ULC Shares where such shares are not being realized upon hereunder, any or
all of the Investment Property shall be registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or its
nominee, and the Collateral Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (A) all voting, corporate
and other rights pertaining to such Investment Property at any meeting of shareholders of the
relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (B) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and
subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Investment Property as
if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to exchange at its discretion any and
all of the Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or
other fundamental change in the corporate or other organizational structure of any Issuer, or upon
the exercise by any Grantor or the Collateral Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to
such Investment Property, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all
of the Investment Property with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other
designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may determine), all
without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Collateral Agent
shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be
responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.




          (c) Except in the case of ULC Shares, each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer
of any Investment Property pledged by such Grantor hereunder to, and any such Issuer party hereto
agrees to, (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing,
without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each
Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) after receipt by an Issuer or obligor of
any instructions pursuant to Section 6.3(c)(i) hereof, pay any dividends or other payments
with respect to the Investment Property directly to the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent
agrees that it shall not send any such instruction unless (A) an Event of Default






31









Table of Contents







has occurred and is continuing and (B) such instruction is otherwise in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.




          6.4. Proceeds to be Turned Over to Collateral Agent. In addition to the rights of the
Secured Parties specified in Section 6.1 with respect to payments of Receivables, if an
Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the exercise of remedies shall have commenced
under Section 6 of the Indenture, all Proceeds received by such Grantor consisting of cash, checks
and other near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties,
segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be
turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by
such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent
hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole
dominion and control. All Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account (or
by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral 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 Section 6.5.




          6.5. Application of Proceeds. At such intervals as may be agreed upon by the Company
and the Collateral Agent, or, if and whenever any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Collateral Agent may apply all or any part of Proceeds constituting Collateral, whether or not
held in any Collateral Account, any Securities Account or any Deposit Account, and any proceeds of
the guarantee set forth herein, in payment of the Obligations in the following order (it being
understood that any application of such Proceeds constituting Collateral by the Collateral Agent
towards the payment of the Obligations shall be made in the following order): first, to
unpaid and unreimbursed costs, expenses and fees of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent (including
fees and expenses of counsel and agents, and to reimburse ratably any other Secured Parties which
have advanced any of the same to the Collateral Agent), second, to the Trustee, for
application by it toward payment of all amounts then due and owing and remaining unpaid in respect
of the Obligations, pro rata among the Secured Parties according to the amount of the Obligations
then due and owing and remaining unpaid to the Secured Parties, and third, to the Trustee,
for application by it toward prepayment of the Obligations, pro rata among the Secured Parties
according to the amount of the Obligations then held by the Secured Parties. Any balance of such
Proceeds remaining after the Obligations have been paid in full shall be paid over to the Company
or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. For purposes of this Section, to
the extent that any Obligation is unmatured, unliquidated or contingent at the time any
distribution is to be made pursuant to clause second above, the Collateral Agent shall
allocate a portion of the amount to be distributed pursuant to such clause for the benefit of the
Secured Parties holding such Obligations and shall hold such amounts for the benefit of such
Secured Parties until such time as such Obligations become matured, liquidated and/or payable at
which time such amounts shall be distributed to the holders of such Obligations to the extent
necessary to pay such Obligations in full (with any excess to be distributed in accordance with
this Section as if distributed at such time). In making determinations and allocations required by
this Section, the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely upon information provided to it by the
holder of the relevant Obligations (which, in the case of the immediately preceding sentence shall
be a reasonable estimate of the amount of the Obligations) and shall not be required to, or be
responsible for, ascertaining the existence of or amount of any Obligations.

Table of Contents








          6.6. Code and Other Remedies. Subject, in the case of ULC Shares, to the provisions
of Section 8.18 of this Agreement, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the
Collateral Agent may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this
Agreement and in any other Note Document, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New
York UCC or any other applicable law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Collateral Agent, without demand
of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except
any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and
each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such
circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part
thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise
dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing),
in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or
office of the Trustee or any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may
deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery
without assumption of any credit risk. Any Secured Party 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 the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption
in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees,
at the Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the
Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such
Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action
taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.6, after deducting all reasonable fees, costs and
expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of
any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Collateral
Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to
the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as set forth in Section
6.5, and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other
amount required by any provision of law, including Section 9-615(a)(3) of the UCC, need the
Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against any
Secured Party arising out of the exercise of any rights hereunder other than any such claims,
damages and demands that may arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Secured
Party. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral is required by law,
such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or
other disposition.




          6.7. Pledged Stock.




          (a) Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of
any or all the Pledged Stock, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more
private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among
other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view
to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private
sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and,
notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be






33









Table of Contents








deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent shall be
under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to
permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or
under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.




          (b) Each Grantor agrees to use its best 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 Stock pursuant
to this Section 6.7 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable
Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained
in this Section 6.7 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 6.7 shall be specifically enforceable against
such Grantor, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Grantor hereby waives and
agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants
except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing under the Indenture.




          6.8. Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds
of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations and the
fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to
collect such deficiency.




          6.9. Intellectual Property.




          (a) At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
upon the written demand of the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall execute and deliver to the
Collateral Agent an assignment or assignments, in favor of the Collateral Agent or its designee, of
such Grantor’s rights, title, and interests in, to and under the Intellectual Property included in
the Collateral in recordable form as applicable, and such other documents as are necessary or
appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes hereof.




          (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral
Agent shall have the right, but shall in no way be obligated, to file applications for protection
of the Intellectual Property included in the Collateral and/or bring suit in the name of any
Grantor, the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties, to enforce the Intellectual Property included
in the Collateral. In the event of such suit, each Grantor shall, at the request of the Collateral
Agent, do any and all lawful acts, including joinder as a party, and execute any and all documents
requested by the Collateral Agent in aid of such enforcement, and the Grantors shall promptly
compensate, reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent for all costs and expenses incurred by the
Collateral Agent in the exercise of its rights under this Section 6.9(b). In the event
that the Collateral Agent shall elect not to bring suit to enforce the Intellectual Property
included in the Collateral, each Grantor agrees, at the request of the Collateral Agent, to take
all actions necessary, whether by suit, proceeding or other action, to prevent and/or obtain a
recovery for the infringement or other violation of rights in, diminution in value of, or other
damage to any of the Intellectual Property included in the Collateral by any Person.

Table of Contents








          (c) Solely for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies
hereunder, at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights
and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive
license and sublicense (in each case, exercisable without payment of royalties or other
compensation to such Grantor) to make, have made, use, sell, copy, distribute, perform, make
derivative works, publish, and exploit in any other manner for which an authorization from the
owner of such Intellectual Property would be required under applicable Requirements of Law, with
rights of sublicense, any of the Intellectual Property included in the Collateral now or hereafter
owned by or licensed to such Grantor, wherever the same may be located; provided that (i)
the applicable Grantor shall have such rights of quality control and inspection which are
reasonably necessary under applicable Requirements of Law to maintain the validity and
enforceability of such Trademarks, and (ii) any sublicenses duly granted by Collateral Agent under
this license grant shall survive in accordance with their terms, notwithstanding the subsequent
cure of any Event of Default that gave rise to the exercise of the Collateral Agent’s rights and
remedies. The foregoing license shall include 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
hereof.




               SECTION
7. THE COLLATERAL AGENT




          7.1.
Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.





          (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent and any
officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact
with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of
such Grantor or in its own name (except in the case of rights related to ULC Shares), for the
purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to
execute any and all documents and instruments which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
each Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor,
without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following:





     (i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession
of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other
instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Receivable or contract of such
Grantor or with respect to any other Collateral of such Grantor and file any claim
or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise
deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all
such moneys due under any Receivable or contract of such Grantor or with respect to
any other Collateral of such Grantor whenever payable;




     (ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have
recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the
Collateral Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Secured Parties’ security
interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of
such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;

thereof;




     (iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6.6
or 6.7, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or

other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any
Collateral of such Grantor; (C) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express
bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors,
assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of

any Collateral of such Grantor; (E) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought
against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (F) settle, compromise or
adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such

any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark pertains) in preparing for sale, advertising

discretion determine; and (H) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any
agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral of such
Grantor as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute
owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and such
Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the
Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral
of such Grantor and the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect
the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.



The Collateral Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney
provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and it is exercising remedies in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the
Indenture.




          (b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the
Collateral Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply with,
or cause performance or compliance with, such agreement.

          (c) The fees, expenses and rights of reimbursement and indemnification (including
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and agents) of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection
with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.1 shall be additional Obligations
secured hereby and shall be payable by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent on demand.




          (d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done
by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled
with an interest and are irrevocable as to each Grantor until this Agreement is terminated and all
security interests created hereby with respect to the Collateral of such Grantor are released.




          7.2. Duty of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the
custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section
9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the
Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own Corporate Trust accounts generally.
Neither the Collateral Agent, any Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors,
employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the
Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise
dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other
action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the
Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral
and shall not impose any duty upon any Secured Parties to exercise any such powers. The Secured
Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the
exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents
shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except, in the case of
the Collateral Agent only in respect of its own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.




          7.3. Financing Statements. Each Grantor hereby authorizes the filing of any financing
statements or continuation statements, and amendments to financing statements, or any similar
document in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as the Collateral Agent may determine, in
its reasonable discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect or otherwise protect the security
interest granted to the Collateral Agent herein. Such financing statements may describe the
Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of
collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Collateral Agent may determine,
in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security
interest in the Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent herein, including describing such
property as “all assets” or “all personal property” and may add thereto “whether now owned or
hereafter acquired and wherever located.”




          7.4. Authority, Immunities and Indemnities of Collateral Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges, and, by acceptance of the benefits hereof, each Secured Party
agrees, that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement,
including but not limited to any action taken or not taken by the Collateral Agent, the exercise or
non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right
or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall be governed by
the

Indenture and that the Collateral Agent shall have, in respect thereof, all rights, remedies,
immunities and indemnities granted to it in the Indenture and that the provisions of the Indenture
applicable to the Collateral Agent are herein incorporated by reference as though fully set forth
in this Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for
the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor
shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.




          7.5. Intellectual Property Filings. Each Grantor shall execute and/or submit filings with
the PTO or United States Copyright Office (or any successor office), as applicable, including this
Agreement, the Copyright Security Agreement, the Patent Security Agreement, and the Trademark
Security Agreement, or other comparable documents, and to take such other actions as may be
required under applicable law for the purpose of perfecting, recording, confirming, continuing,
enforcing or protecting the security interest granted by such Grantor hereunder.




          SECTION 8. MISCELLANEOUS

Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 14.02 of the Indenture;

to such Grantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1 or to such other address as

          8.3. No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. No Secured Party shall by any
act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 8.1), delay, indulgence, omission
or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any
Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of
any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No
single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any
Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar
to any right or remedy which such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The
rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are
not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.




          8.4. Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification.




          (a) Each Grantor agrees to compensate the Collateral Agent as provided in the Indenture, and
to pay, or reimburse the Collateral Agent for, all its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred in collecting against such Grantor under the guarantee contained in Section 2 or
otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Note Documents to
which such Grantor is a party, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and
agents.




          (b) Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all
liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise,
sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the
Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.




          (c) Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery,
enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement on the terms set forth in Sections 7
and 12 of the Indenture.




          (d) The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other
amounts payable under the Indenture and the other Note Documents, and the resignation or removal of
the Collateral Agent.




          8.5. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and
assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their successors
and assigns; provided that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement, except as permitted by the Indenture, and unless so permitted,
each such assignment, transfer or delegation by any Grantor shall be void.




          8.6. Set-Off. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes each Secured Party at any time
and from time to time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without
notice to such Grantor or any other Grantor, any such notice being expressly




39









Table of Contents







waived by each
Grantor, to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or
demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in
any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or
unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of
such Grantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as such Secured Party may elect, against and on
account of the obligations and liabilities of such Grantor to such Secured Party hereunder and
claims of every nature and description of such Secured Party against such Grantor, in any currency,
whether arising hereunder, under the Indenture or any other Note Document, as such Secured Party
may elect, whether or not any Secured Party has made any demand for payment and although such
obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. Each Secured Party shall
notify such Grantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by such Secured Party of
the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section are
in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which such Secured
Party may have.




          8.7. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this
Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall
be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of
this Agreement by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission (in PDF format) shall be
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this
Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Company, the Trustee and the
Collateral Agent.




          8.8. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition
or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition
or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision
in any other jurisdiction.




          8.9. Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are
not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.




          8.10. Integration. This Agreement and the other Note Documents represent the entire
agreement of the Grantors and the Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Secured
Party relative to subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein
or in the other Note Documents.




          8.11. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK.




          8.12. Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally:




40









Table of Contents








          (a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement and the other Note Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement
of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the Courts of the
State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New
York, and appellate courts from any thereof;




          (b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any
objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any
such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to
plead or claim the same;




          (c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing
a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage
prepaid, to such Grantor at its address referred to in Section 8.2 or at such other address
of which the Collateral Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;




          (d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any
other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and




          (e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or
recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary,
punitive or consequential damages.




          8.13. Acknowledgements. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that:




          (a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the other Note Documents to which it is a party;




          (b) no Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Grantor arising out of
or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Note Documents, and the relationship
between the Grantors, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection
herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and




          (c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Note Documents or otherwise exists by
virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Secured Parties or among the Grantors and
the Secured Parties.




          8.14. Additional Grantors; Supplements to Schedules. (a) Each Subsidiary of the Company
that is required to become a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.15 of the Indenture
shall become a Grantor for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such
Subsidiary of an assumption agreement in the form of Annex I hereto.




          (b) The Grantors may deliver to the Collateral Agent supplements to the Schedules to this
Agreement as necessary to reflect changes thereto arising after the date hereof. Such supplements
shall become part of this Agreement as of the date of delivery to the Collateral Agent.




41

          8.15. Releases.




          (a) At such time as the Notes and all other Obligations have been paid in full, the Collateral
shall be released from the Liens created hereby, and this Agreement and all obligations (other than
those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Collateral Agent and each Grantor
hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any
party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors. At the request and sole
expense of any Grantor following any such termination, the Collateral Agent shall deliver to such
Grantor any Collateral held by the Collateral Agent hereunder and execute and deliver to such
Grantor such documents (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent) as
such Grantor may reasonably request to evidence such termination.




          (b) If any of the Collateral is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Grantor in a
transaction permitted by the Indenture, then the Lien created pursuant to this Agreement in such
Collateral shall be released as provided in the Indenture, and upon delivery of an Officer’s
Certificate and Opinion of Counsel in accordance with the Indenture, the Collateral Agent, at the
request and sole expense of such Grantor, shall promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor all
releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable and in form reasonably satisfactory
to the Collateral Agent for the release of such Collateral (not including Proceeds thereof) from
the security interests created hereby. A Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from its
obligations hereunder as provided in the Indenture, including in the event that
all the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be sold, transferred or otherwise
disposed of in a transaction permitted by the Indenture, and upon delivery of an Officer’s
Certificate and Opinion of Counsel in accordance with the Indenture, the Collateral Agent, at the
request and sole expense of such Grantor, shall promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor all
releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable and in form reasonably satisfactory
to the Collateral Agent for the release of such Grantor from its obligations hereunder.




          (c) The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties agree that the Collateral of any
Guarantor shall be released and all Liens terminated with respect thereto to the extent required or
permitted by the Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement, if any.




          8.16. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH GRANTOR AND, BY ACCEPTANCE OF THE BENEFITS HEREOF, THE
COLLATERAL AGENT AND EACH OTHER SECURED PARTY, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER NOTE DOCUMENT AND
FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.




          8.17. Intercreditor Agreement. IN THE EVENT AN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT IS IN EFFECT IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE INDENTURE, NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, THE EXERCISE OF ANY
RIGHT OR REMEDY BY THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON TRUST COMPANY, N.A., IN ITS CAPACITY AS COLLATERAL
AGENT HEREUNDER IS SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT (AS AMENDED, RESTATED,
AMENDED AND RESTATED, SUPPLEMENTED OR OTHERWISE MODIFIED FROM TIME TO TIME, THE “INTERCREDITOR
AGREEMENT”), AMONG MERGE HEALTHCARE INCORPORATED, THE OTHER GRANTORS




42









Table of Contents







PARTY THERETO, THE
COLLATERAL AGENT FOR THE EXISTING SECURED PARTIES NAMED THEREIN, THE INITIAL ADDITIONAL COLLATERAL
AGENT NAMED THEREIN AND EACH ADDITIONAL AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE FROM TIME TO TIME PARTY THERETO.
IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND THIS AGREEMENT,
THE TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN AND CONTROL.




     8.18. ULC Shares. Each Grantor acknowledges that certain of the Collateral may now or
in the future consist of ULC Shares, and that it is the intention of the Collateral Agent and such
Grantor that neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party should under any
circumstances prior to realization thereon be held to be a “member” or a “shareholder”, as
applicable, of a ULC for the purposes of any ULC Laws. Therefore, notwithstanding any provisions
to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Indenture or any other Note Document to which such
Grantor and one or more of the other parties hereto are party, where a Grantor is the registered
and beneficial owner of ULC Shares which constitute Collateral, such Grantor will remain the sole
registered owner of such ULC Shares until such time as such ULC Shares are effectively transferred
into the name of the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party or any other Person on the books and
records of the applicable ULC. Accordingly, such Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain
for its own account any dividend on or other distribution, if
any, in respect of such ULC Shares (except for any dividend or distribution comprised of stock
certificates, which shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent to hold hereunder) and shall have
the right to vote such ULC Shares and to control the direction, management and policies of the
applicable ULC to the same extent as such Grantor would if such ULC Shares were not pledged to the
Collateral Agent nor subject to a security interest pursuant hereto. Nothing in this Agreement,
the Indenture or any other agreement or document is intended to, and nothing in this Agreement, the
Indenture or any other agreement or document shall, constitute the Collateral Agent, any other
Secured Party, or any other Person other than a Grantor, a member or shareholder of a ULC for the
purposes of any ULC Laws, until such time as ten (10) calendar days prior written notice is given
to the Grantor and further steps are taken pursuant hereto or thereto so as to register the
Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party or such other Person, as specified in such notice, as the
holder of the ULC Shares. To the extent any provision hereof or of the Indenture or any other
agreement or document would have the effect of constituting the Collateral Agent or any other
Secured Party as a member or a shareholder, as applicable, of any ULC prior to such time, such
provision shall be severed herefrom or therefrom and shall be ineffective with respect to ULC
Shares which are Collateral without otherwise invalidating or rendering unenforceable this
Agreement, the Indenture or any other agreement or document or invalidating or rendering
unenforceable such provision insofar as it relates to Collateral which is not ULC Shares. Except
upon the exercise of rights of the Collateral Agent to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of ULC
Shares in accordance with this Agreement, such Grantor shall not cause or permit, or enable an
Issuer that is a ULC to cause or permit, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to, (a) be
registered as a shareholder or member of such Issuer, (b) have any notation entered in their favor
in the share register of such Issuer, (c) be held out as shareholders or members of such Issuer,
(d) receive, directly or indirectly, any dividends, property or other distributions from such
Issuer by reason of the Collateral Agent holding the security interests in the ULC Shares, or (e)
act as a shareholder or member of such Issuer, or exercise any rights of a shareholder or member
including the right to attend a meeting of shareholders or members of such Issuer or to vote its
ULC Shares.
