Collateral Agent as provided herein), with an appropriate reference to the fact that the
Collateral Agent has a security interest therein;




          (iii) it shall perform in all material respects all of its obligations with respect to
the Receivables;




          (iv) it shall not amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of any Receivable in

following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral
Agent may: (1) direct the Account Debtors under any Receivables to make payment of all
amounts due or to become due to such Grantor thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent;
(2) notify, or require any Grantor to notify, each Person maintaining a lockbox or similar
arrangement to which Account Debtors under any



16









 






Receivables have been directed to make
payment to remit all amounts representing collections on checks and other payment items
from time to time sent to or deposited in such lockbox or other arrangement directly to the
Collateral Agent; and (3) enforce, at the expense of such Grantor, collection of any such
Receivables and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same
manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done. If the Collateral Agent
notifies any Grantor that it has elected to collect the Receivables in accordance with the
preceding sentence, any payments of Receivables received by such Grantor shall be forthwith
(and in any event within two (2) Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form
received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent if required, in the
Collateral Account maintained under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent,
and until so turned over, all amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments)
received by such Grantor in respect of the Receivables, any Supporting Obligation or
Collateral Support shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent
hereunder and shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and such Grantor shall
not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any Receivable, or release wholly
or partly any Account Debtor or obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon;
and




          (vi) it shall use its reasonable efforts to keep in full force and effect any
Supporting Obligation or Collateral Support relating to any Receivable.



          (c) Delivery and Control of Receivables. With respect to any Receivables in excess of
$30,000 individually or $100,000 in the aggregate that is evidenced by, or constitutes, Chattel
Paper or Instruments, each Grantor shall cause each originally executed copy thereof to be
delivered to the Collateral Agent (or its agent or designee) appropriately indorsed to the
Collateral Agent or indorsed in blank: (i) with respect to any such Receivables in existence on
the date hereof, on or prior to the date hereof and (ii) with respect to any such Receivables
hereafter arising, within ten (10) days of such Grantor acquiring rights therein. With respect to
any Receivables in excess of $30,000 individually or $100,000 in the aggregate which would
constitute “electronic chattel paper” under Article 9 of the UCC, each Grantor shall take all steps
necessary to give the Collateral Agent control over such Receivables (within the meaning of Section
9-105 of the UCC): (i) with respect to any such Receivables in existence on the date hereof, on or
prior to the date hereof and (ii) with respect to any such Receivables hereafter arising, within
ten (10) days of such Grantor acquiring rights therein. Any Receivable not otherwise required to
be delivered or subjected to the control of the Collateral Agent in accordance with this subsection
(c) shall be delivered or subjected to such control upon request of the Collateral Agent during the
continuance of an Event of Default.




     4.4 Investment Related Property.



          4.4.1 Investment Related Property Generally




          (a) Covenants and Agreements. Each Grantor covenants and agrees that until the
payment in full of all Obligations (other than unmatured contingent obligations), the cancellation
or termination of all Commitments, the expiration or termination of all Hedge Agreements and the
cancellation or expiration of all outstanding Letters of Credit:





          (i) in the event it acquires rights in any Investment Related Property after the date
hereof, it shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a completed Pledge Supplement,
substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, together with all Supplements to
Schedules thereto, reflecting such new Investment Related Property and



17









 






all other Investment
Related Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the
security interest of the Collateral Agent shall attach to all Investment Related Property
immediately upon any Grantor’s acquisition of rights therein and shall not be affected by
the failure of any Grantor to deliver a supplement to Schedule 4.4 as required hereby;




          (ii) except as provided in the next sentence, in the event such Grantor receives any
dividends, interest or distributions on any Investment Related Property, or any securities
or other property upon the merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution of any issuer
of any Investment Related Property, then (a) such dividends, interest or distributions and
securities or other property shall be included in the definition of Collateral without
further action and (b) such Grantor shall immediately take all steps, if any, necessary or
advisable to ensure the validity, perfection, priority and, if applicable, control of the
Collateral Agent over such Investment Related Property (including, without limitation,
delivery thereof to the Collateral Agent) and pending any such action such Grantor shall be
deemed to hold such dividends, interest, distributions, securities or other property in
trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall segregate such dividends,
distributions, Securities or other property from all other property of such Grantor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Collateral Agent authorizes each Grantor to retain all ordinary cash
dividends and distributions paid in the normal course of the business of the issuer and
consistent with the past practice of the issuer and all scheduled payments of interest;




          (iii) each Grantor consents to the grant by each other Grantor of a Security Interest
in all Investment Related Property to the Collateral Agent.



          (b) Delivery and Control.





          (i) Each Grantor agrees that with respect to any Investment Related Property in which
it currently has rights it shall comply with the provisions of this Section 4.4.1(b) on or
before the Credit Date and with respect to any Investment Related Property hereafter
acquired by such Grantor it shall comply with the provisions of this Section 4.4.1(b)
within (5) Business Days upon acquiring rights therein, in each case in form and substance
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. With respect to any Investment Related Property that
is represented by a certificate or that is an “instrument” (other than any Investment
Related Property credited to a Securities Account) it shall cause such certificate or
instrument to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, indorsed in
blank by an “effective indorsement” (as defined in Section 8-107 of the UCC),
regardless of whether such certificate constitutes a “certificated security” for purposes
of the UCC. With respect to any Investment Related Property that is an “uncertificated

exercising the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be
entitled to exercise pursuant hereto shall cease and all such rights shall
thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent who shall thereupon have the
sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights; and

voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise
pursuant hereto

entitled to receive hereunder: (1) each Grantor shall promptly execute and
deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Collateral Agent

	SECTION 5.	 	ACCESS; RIGHT OF INSPECTION AND FURTHER ASSURANCES;
ADDITIONAL GRANTORS.








28









 








     5.1 Access; Right of Inspection. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 5.6
of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall at all times have full and free access during
normal business hours to all the books, correspondence and records of each Grantor, and the
Collateral Agent and its representatives may examine the same, take extracts therefrom and make
photocopies thereof, and each Grantor agrees to render to the Collateral Agent, at such Grantor’s
cost and expense, such clerical and other assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard
thereto. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 5.6 of the Credit Agreement, the
Collateral Agent and its representatives shall at all times also have the right to enter any
premises of each Grantor and inspect any property of each Grantor where any of the Collateral of
such Grantor granted pursuant to this Agreement is located for the purpose of inspecting the same,
observing its use or otherwise protecting its interests therein.



     5.2 Further Assurances.



          (a) Each Grantor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of such Grantor, that it shall
promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action,
that may be necessary or reasonably desirable, or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request,
in order to create and/or maintain the validity, perfection or priority of and protect any security
interest granted hereby or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and
remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each Grantor shall:





          (i) file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and execute
and deliver such other agreements, instruments, endorsements, powers of attorney or
notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Collateral Agent may reasonably
request, in order to perfect and preserve the security interests granted or purported to be
granted hereby;




          (ii) take all actions necessary to ensure the recordation of appropriate evidence of
the liens and security interest granted hereunder in the Intellectual Property with any
intellectual property registry in which said Intellectual Property is registered or in
which an application for registration is pending including, without limitation, the United
States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, the various
Secretaries of State, and the foreign counterparts on any of the foregoing;




          (iii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and upon
request by the Collateral Agent, assemble the Collateral and allow inspection of the
Collateral by the Collateral Agent, or persons designated by the Collateral Agent; and




          (iv) at the Collateral Agent’s request, appear in and defend any action or proceeding
that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such
Grantor’s title to or the Collateral Agent’s security interest in all or any part of the
Collateral.



          (b) Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file a Record or Records,
including, without limitation, financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, in any
jurisdictions and with any filing offices as the Collateral Agent may determine, in its sole
discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect the security interest granted to the




29









 







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, without limitation, describing such property as
“all assets” or “all personal property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.” Each Grantor
shall furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to time statements and schedules further
identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral
as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.




          (c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to modify this Agreement after
obtaining such Grantor’s written approval of or signature to such modification by amending Schedule
4.7 (as such schedule may be amended or supplemented from time to time) to include reference to any
right, title or interest in any existing Intellectual Property or any Intellectual Property
acquired or developed by any Grantor after the execution hereof or to delete any reference to any
right, title or interest in any Intellectual Property in which any Grantor no longer has or claims
any right, title or interest.




     5.3 Additional Grantors. From time to time subsequent to the date hereof, additional Persons
may become parties hereto as additional Grantors (each, an “Additional Grantor”), by executing a
Counterpart Agreement. Upon delivery of any such counterpart agreement to the Collateral Agent,
notice of which is hereby waived by Grantors, each Additional Grantor shall be a Grantor and shall
be as fully a party hereto as if Additional Grantor were an original signatory hereto. Each
Grantor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished
by the addition or release of any other Grantor hereunder, nor by any election of Collateral Agent
not to cause any Subsidiary of Company to become an Additional Grantor hereunder. This Agreement
shall be fully effective as to any Grantor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of
whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.



SECTION 6. COLLATERAL AGENT APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.




     6.1 Power of Attorney. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent (such
appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Grantor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority
in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor, the Collateral Agent or
otherwise, from time to time in the Collateral Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute
any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish
the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the following:



          (a) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to obtain and
adjust insurance required to be maintained by such Grantor or paid to the Collateral Agent pursuant
to the Credit Agreement;




          (b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to ask for,
demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys
due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;




          (c) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to receive,
endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with
clause (b) above;




30









 








          (d) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to file any claims
or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or
desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the
Collateral Agent with respect to any of the Collateral;




          (e) to prepare and file any UCC financing statements against such Grantor as debtor;




          (f) to prepare, sign, and file for recordation in any intellectual property registry,
appropriate evidence of the lien and security interest granted herein in the Intellectual Property
in the name of such Grantor as debtor;




          (g) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to take or cause to
be taken all actions necessary to perform or comply or cause performance or compliance with the
terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, access to pay or discharge taxes or Liens
(other than Permitted Liens) levied or placed upon or threatened against the Collateral, the
legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to be determined by
the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, any such payments made by the Collateral Agent to
become obligations of such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, due and payable immediately without
demand; and




          (h) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, generally to sell,
transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral
as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all
purposes, and to do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at
any time or from time to time, all acts and things that the Collateral Agent deems reasonably
necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s security
interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as
such Grantor might do.




     6.2 No Duty on the Part of Collateral Agent or Secured Parties. The powers conferred on the
Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Secured Parties in the
Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to exercise
any such powers. The Collateral Agent and 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 for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.



SECTION 7. REMEDIES.




     7.1 Generally.



          (a) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may,
subject to the terms of and in the manner contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement, exercise in
respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or
otherwise available to it at law or in equity, all the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent
on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) to collect,
enforce or satisfy any Secured Obligations then owing, whether by




31









 







acceleration or otherwise, and
also may pursue any of the following separately, successively or simultaneously:





          (i) require any Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it shall at its
expense and promptly upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part
of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the
Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably
convenient to both parties;




          (ii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession
thereof with or without judicial process;




          (iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or
recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any
manner to the extent the Collateral Agent deems appropriate; and




          (iv) without notice except as specified below or under the UCC, sell, assign, lease,
license (on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis) or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or
any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral
Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or
times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may
deem commercially reasonable.



          (b) The Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the
Collateral at any public or private (to the extent to the portion of the Collateral being privately
sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject of widely
distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC and the Collateral Agent, as
collateral agent for and representative of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose
of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the
Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC, to use and apply any of the
Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the
Collateral Agent at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold
absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives
(to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which
it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or
hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by
law, at least ten (10) days notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the
time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The
Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale
having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time
by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be
made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be
commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion
thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the
Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of
assets. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of
the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less
than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent
accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If
the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the
Secured Obligations, Grantors shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys




32









 







employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a
breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the
Collateral Agent, that the Collateral Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach
and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically
enforceable against such Grantor, and 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
default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their
stated maturities. Nothing in this Section shall in any way alter the rights of the Collateral
Agent hereunder.




          (c) The Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the
Collateral. The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or
the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness
of any sale of the Collateral.




          (d) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.




     7.2 Application of Proceeds. Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, the
Credit Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement, all proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in
respect of any sale, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the
Collateral shall be applied in full
or in part by the Collateral Agent against, the Secured Obligations in the following order of
priority: first, to the payment of all costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other
realization, including reasonable compensation to the Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel,
and all other expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Collateral Agent in
connection therewith, and all amounts for which the Collateral Agent is entitled to indemnification
hereunder (in its capacity as the Collateral Agent and not as a Lender) and all advances made by
the Collateral Agent hereunder for the account of the applicable Grantor, and to the payment of all
costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the exercise of any
right or remedy hereunder or under the Credit Agreement, all in accordance with the terms hereof or
thereof; second, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment of all other Secured
Obligations for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties; and third, to the extent of any excess
of such proceeds, to the payment to or upon the order of such Grantor or to whosoever may be
lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.



     7.3 Sales on Credit. If Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Grantor
will be credited only with payments actually made by purchaser and received by Collateral Agent and
applied to indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the
Collateral, Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral and Grantor shall be credited with proceeds
of the sale.



     7.4 Deposit Accounts.



     If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may apply
the balance from any Deposit Account (other than Foreign Deposit Accounts) or instruct the bank at
which any Deposit Account (other than Foreign Deposit Accounts) is maintained to pay the balance of
any Deposit Account (other than Foreign Deposit Accounts) to or for the benefit of the Collateral
Agent.



     7.5 Investment Related Property.



33









 





     Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities
Act and applicable state securities laws, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to
any sale of all or any part of the Investment Related Property conducted without prior registration
or qualification of such Investment Related Property under the Securities Act and/or such state
securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the
Investment Related Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the
distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at
prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such
restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the
Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, each Grantor agrees 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
Investment Related Property for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to
register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under
applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it.
If the Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Investment
Related Property, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer of any
Pledged Stock to be sold hereunder, each partnership and each limited liability company from time
to time to furnish to the Collateral Agent all such information as the Collateral Agent may request
in
order to determine the number and nature of interest, shares or other instruments included in
the Investment Related Property which may be sold by the Collateral Agent in exempt transactions
under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.



     7.6 Intellectual Property.



          (a) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence and during
the continuation of an Event of Default:





          (i) the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring suit
or otherwise commence any action or proceeding in the name of any Grantor, the Collateral
Agent or otherwise, in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion, to enforce any Intellectual
Property, in which event such Grantor shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent, do any
and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents required by the Collateral Agent in
aid of such enforcement and such Grantor shall promptly, upon written demand, reimburse and
indemnify the Collateral Agent as provided in Section 10 hereof in connection with the
exercise of its rights under this Section, and, to the extent that the Collateral Agent
shall elect not to bring suit to enforce any Intellectual Property as provided in this
Section, each Grantor agrees to use commercially reasonable measures, whether by action,
suit, proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement or other violation of any of
such Grantor’s rights in the Intellectual Property by others and for that purpose agrees to
diligently maintain any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing as
shall be necessary to prevent such infringement or violation;




          (ii) upon written demand from the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall grant, assign,
convey or otherwise transfer to the Collateral Agent or such Collateral Agent’s designee
all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property and
shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such documents as are necessary or
appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement;



34









 






          (iii) each Grantor agrees that such an assignment and/or recording shall be applied to
reduce the Secured Obligations outstanding only to the extent that the Collateral Agent (or
any Secured Party) receives cash proceeds in respect of the sale of, or other realization
upon, the Intellectual Property;




          (iv) within five (5) Business Days after written notice from the Collateral Agent,
each Grantor shall make available to the Collateral Agent, to the extent within such
Grantor’s power and authority, such personnel in such Grantor’s employ on the date of such
Event of Default as the Collateral Agent may reasonably designate, by name, title or job
responsibility, to permit such Grantor to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce,
advertise and sell the products and services sold or delivered by such Grantor under or in
connection with the Trademarks, Trademark Licenses, such persons to be available to perform
their prior functions on the Collateral Agent’s behalf and to be compensated by the
Collateral Agent at such Grantor’s expense on a per diem, pro-rata basis consistent with
the salary and benefit structure applicable to each as of the date of such Event of
Default; and




          (v) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to notify, or require each Grantor to
notify, any obligors with respect to amounts due or to become due to such Grantor in
respect of the Intellectual Property, of the existence of the security interest created
herein, to direct such obligors to make payment of all such amounts directly to the
Collateral Agent, and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to
enforce collection of any such amounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or
payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done;




	 	(1)	 	all amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by
Grantor in respect of amounts due to such Grantor in respect of the Collateral or any
portion thereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent
hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith
paid over or delivered to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with
any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and applied as provided by
Section 7.7 hereof; and
	 
	 	(2)	 	Grantor shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any
such amount or release wholly or partly any obligor with respect thereto or allow any
credit or discount thereon.





          (b) If (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and, by reason of cure, waiver,
modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be continuing, (ii) no other Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, (iii) an assignment or other transfer to the Collateral Agent of
any rights, title and interests in and to the Intellectual Property shall have been previously made
and shall have become absolute and effective, and (iv) the Secured Obligations shall not have
become immediately due and payable, upon the written request of any Grantor, the Collateral Agent
shall promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor, at such Grantor’s sole cost and expense, such
assignments or other transfer as may be necessary to reassign to such Grantor any such rights,
title and interests as may have been assigned to the Collateral Agent as aforesaid, subject to any
disposition thereof that may have been made by the Collateral Agent; provided, after giving effect
to such reassignment, the Collateral Agent’s security interest granted pursuant hereto, as well as
all other rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent granted hereunder, shall continue to be in
full force and effect; and provided further, the




35









 







rights, title and interests so reassigned shall be
free and clear of any other Liens granted by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent and the Secured
Parties.




          (c) Solely for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies
under this Section 7 and 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, to the
extent it has the right to do so, an irrevocable (except by reason of cure of an Event of Default),
nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such
Grantor), subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and
inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of said Trademarks, to use,
operate under, license, or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by
such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located.




     7.7 Cash Proceeds. In addition to the rights of the Collateral Agent specified in Section 4.3
with respect to payments of Receivables, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default
all proceeds of any Collateral received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other
non-cash items (collectively, “Cash Proceeds”) shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the
Collateral Agent, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by
such Grantor, unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 4.4.1(a)(ii), 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) and held by the Collateral Agent in the Collateral Account. Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default any Cash Proceeds received by the
Collateral Agent (whether from a Grantor or otherwise) may, in the sole discretion of the
Collateral Agent, (A) be held by the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured
Parties, as collateral security for the Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and/or
(B) then or at any time thereafter may be applied by the Collateral Agent against the Secured
Obligations then due and owing.



SECTION 8. COLLATERAL AGENT.




     The Collateral Agent has been appointed to act as Collateral Agent hereunder by Lenders and,
by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, the other Secured Parties. The Collateral Agent shall
be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or
refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including,
without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this
Agreement and the First Lien Credit Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this
Section, each Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no
right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed
by such Secured Party that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the
Collateral Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Section.
Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to
Lenders and the Grantors, and Collateral Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by
an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Grantors and Collateral Agent
signed by the Requisite Lenders. Upon any such notice of resignation or any such removal,
Requisite Lenders shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative
Agent, to appoint a successor Collateral Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as
Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, that successor Collateral Agent shall
thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring or removed Collateral Agent under this Agreement, and the retiring or removed Collateral
Agent under this Agreement shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Collateral Agent all sums,
Securities and other items of Collateral held hereunder,



36









 




together with all records and other
documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the
successor Collateral Agent under this Agreement, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor
Collateral Agent or otherwise authorize the filing of such amendments to financing statements, and
take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to
such successor Collateral Agent of the security interests created hereunder, whereupon such
retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this
Agreement. After any retiring or removed Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as
the Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was the Collateral Agent
hereunder.





	SECTION 9. CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF LOANS; RELEASES.





     This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain
in full force and effect until the payment in full of all Secured Obligations, the cancellation or
termination of the Commitments, the expiration or termination of all Hedge Agreements and the
cancellation or expiration of all outstanding Letters of Credit, be binding upon each Grantor, its
successors and assigns, and inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent
hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and its successors, transferees and assigns.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement,
any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any Loans held by it to any other Person, and such
other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to
Lenders herein or otherwise. Upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations, the cancellation
or termination of the Commitments and the cancellation or expiration of all outstanding Letters of
Credit, the security interest granted hereby shall automatically terminate hereunder and of record
and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantors. Upon any such termination the
Collateral Agent shall, at Grantors’ expense, execute and deliver to Grantors or otherwise
authorize the filing of such documents as Grantors shall reasonably request, including financing
statement amendments to evidence such termination. Upon any disposition of property permitted by
the First Lien Credit Documents, the Liens granted herein shall be deemed to be automatically
released and such property shall automatically revert to the applicable Grantor with no further
action on the part of any Person. The Collateral Agent shall, at Grantor’s expense, execute and
deliver or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as Grantors shall reasonably request,
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, including financing
statement amendments to evidence such release.



SECTION 10. STANDARD OF CARE; COLLATERAL AGENT MAY PERFORM.




     The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in
the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the
exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting
for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any
Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or
any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such
Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its
own property. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents
shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part 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 otherwise. If any Grantor fails to



37









 




perform any
agreement contained herein, the Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such
agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be
payable by each Grantor under Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement.




SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS.




     Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in accordance
with Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of the Collateral Agent
in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other First Lien Credit
Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default
or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or
privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege.
All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the other First Lien Credit Documents are
cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent
effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the
fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations
of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such
action is taken or condition exists. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the Collateral Agent and Grantors and their respective successors and assigns. Except as
permitted under the First Lien Credit Documents, no Grantor shall, without the prior written
consent of the Collateral Agent given in accordance with the Credit Agreement, assign any right,
duty or obligation hereunder. This Agreement and the other First Lien Credit Documents embody the
entire agreement and understanding between Grantors and the Collateral Agent and supersede all
prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and
thereof. Accordingly, the First Lien Credit Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of
prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral
agreements between the parties. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by
different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered
shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the
same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached
to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document.



     THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY,
AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT
REGARD TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF LAWS OF ANOTHER
STATE.
