(a)           Collateral Records. 
Each Grantor will maintain complete and accurate books and records as is
consistent with its practices as of the date hereof in all material respects
with respect to the Collateral, and furnish to the Agent such reports relating
to the Collateral as the Agent shall from time to time reasonably request.

 

(b)           Authorization to File Financing Statements;
Ratification.  Each Grantor hereby
authorizes the Agent to file, and if requested will deliver to the Agent, all
financing statements and other documents and take such other actions as may
from time to time be requested by the Agent in order to maintain a first
priority (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) perfected
security interest in and, if applicable, Control of, the Collateral.  Any financing statement filed by the Agent
may be filed in any filing office in any applicable Uniform Commercial Code
jurisdiction and may (i) indicate the Collateral (1) as all assets of
the applicable Grantor or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any
particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9
of the Uniform Commercial Code of such jurisdiction, or (2) by any other
description which reasonably approximates the description contained in this
Security Agreement, and (ii) contain any other information required by
part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC for the sufficiency or filing office
acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including (A) whether
the Grantor is an organization, the type of organization and any organization
identification number issued to the Grantor and (B) in the case of a
financing statement filed as a fixture filing, a sufficient description of real
property to which the Collateral relates. 
Each Grantor also agrees to furnish any such information to the Agent
promptly upon request.  Each Grantor also

Commercial Code jurisdiction any initial financing statements or amendments

an Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, not more
frequently than once per quarter, furnish to the Agent statements and schedules
further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports and
information in connection with the Collateral as the Agent may reasonably
request, all in such detail as the Agent may reasonably specify.  Each Grantor also agrees to take any and all
actions necessary to defend title to the Collateral against all persons and to
defend the security interest of the Agent in the Collateral and the priority
thereof against any Lien not permitted under Section 6.02 of the
Credit Agreement and shall take such actions as the Agent reasonably deems
appropriate under 

 

17

 

applicable law to evidence or perfect its
Lien on any Collateral, or otherwise to give effect to the intent of this
Agreement.

dispose of the Collateral except for sales, leases, transfers and other
dispositions specifically permitted under Section 6.05 of the

(f)            Other Financing Statements.  No Grantor will authorize the filing of any

Collateral, except to cover security interests as permitted by Section 4.1(e).  Each Grantor acknowledges that it is not
authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination
statement with respect to any financing statement without the prior written
consent of the Agent, subject to such Grantor’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of
the UCC.  Without limiting the foregoing,
each Grantor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any
financing statement filed by any Person with respect to Consignment Inventory

prompt written notice of any change in:  (i) such
Grantor’s name; (ii) the location of such Grantor’s chief executive office
or its principal place of business; (iii) such Grantor’s organizational legal
entity designation or jurisdiction of incorporation or formation; (iv) such
Grantor’s Federal Taxpayer Identification Number or organizational

for which additional filings or recordings are necessary to perfect and

security interest in such property is required by the terms hereof).  Each Grantor agrees not to effect or permit
any change referred to in the preceding sentence unless all filings have been
made under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law that are
required in order for the Agent to continue at all times following such change
to have a valid, legal and perfected, first priority security interest (subject
to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and to Liens permitted under Section 6.02
of the Credit Agreement that have priority by operation of applicable law) in
the Collateral for its benefit and the benefit of the other Secured Parties.

 

(h)           Locations of Collateral.  No Grantor will maintain any Collateral
consisting of Inventory the aggregate value of which, at cost, is $2,500,000 or
more at any location other than those locations listed on Exhibit B
or facilities purchased or leased by any Grantor after the date hereof in
accordance with the Credit Agreement, unless, in the case of any location
(other than a retail store or clearance center or a location that is owned by a
Grantor and that is not subject to any mortgage other than a Mortgage) where
any Collateral consisting of Inventory the aggregate value of which, at cost,
is $2,500,000 or more is located, such Grantor shall have obtained a Collateral
Access Agreement for such location.

 

18

 

(i)            Compliance with Terms.  Each Grantor will perform and comply in all

material agreements relating to the Collateral to which it is a party or by

(a)           Certain Agreements on Receivables.  No Grantor will make or agree to make any
discount, credit, rebate or other reduction in the original amount owing on a
Receivable or accept in satisfaction of a Receivable less than the original
amount thereof, except that, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default,
any Grantor may reduce the amount of Accounts other than Credit Card Processor
Accounts, whether from the sale of Inventory or otherwise, in accordance with
its present policies and in the ordinary course of business.

 

(b)           Collection of Receivables.  Except as otherwise provided in this Security
Agreement, each Grantor will collect and enforce, in accordance with its
present policies and in the ordinary course of business, all amounts due or
hereafter due to such Grantor under the Receivables.

 

(c)           Electronic Chattel Paper.  If any Grantor at any time holds or acquires
an interest in any Electronic Chattel Paper or any “transferable record”, as
that term is defined in Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures
in Global and National Commerce Act, or in Section 16 of the Uniform
Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction, such
Grantor shall promptly notify the Agent thereof and, at the request of the
Agent, shall take such action as the Agent may reasonably request to vest in
the Agent Control under UCC Section 9-105 of such Electronic Chattel Paper
or control (to the extent the meaning of “control” has not been clearly
established under such provisions, “control” in this paragraph (c) to
have such meaning as the Agent shall in good faith specify in writing after
consultation with the Company) under Section 201 of the Federal Electronic
Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, Section 16
of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as so in effect in such
jurisdiction, of such transferable record. 
The Agent agrees with such Grantor that the Agent will arrange, pursuant
to procedures reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and so long as such
procedures will not result in the Agent’s loss of Control or control, as
applicable, for the Grantor to make alterations to the Electronic Chattel Paper
or transferable record permitted under UCC Section 9-105 or, as the case
may be, Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and
National Commerce Act or Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions
Act for a party in Control to allow without loss of Control or control, as
applicable, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would
occur after taking into account any action by such Grantor with respect to such
Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record.

 

19

 

Section 4.3.            Inventory
Count; Inventory Reporting System.  (a) The
Grantors will conduct a physical count of the Inventory at least once per
fiscal year (and will provide the Agent with reasonable prior notice of each
physical count), and after an occurrence and during the continuation of an
Event of Default, at such other times as the Agent requests.  The Agent or its representative may
participate in and observe each physical count upon reasonable prior notice to
the Grantors.  The Grantors, at their own
expense, shall deliver to the Agent the results of each physical verification
that the Grantors have made, or have caused any other Person to make on its
behalf, of all or any portion of its Inventory. 
The Grantors will maintain a retail stock ledger inventory reporting
system at all times.  Each Borrower shall
keep accurate and complete records of its Inventory.

 

(b)           No
Grantor shall return any Eligible Inventory to a supplier, vendor or other
Person, whether for cash, credit or otherwise, unless such return is in the
ordinary course of business.

 

(c)           The
Grantors shall use, store and maintain all Inventory with reasonable care and
caution, in accordance with applicable requirements of any applicable insurance
policies covering such Inventory.

 

Section 4.4.            Delivery
of Instruments, Securities, Chattel Paper and Documents.  Each Grantor will (a) deliver to the
Agent immediately upon execution of this Security Agreement the originals of
all Chattel Paper, Securities and Instruments constituting Collateral if any
then exist, (b) hold in trust for the Agent upon receipt and promptly
thereafter deliver to the Agent any Chattel Paper, Securities and Instruments
constituting Collateral received after the date hereof, (c) upon the Agent’s
request, deliver to the Agent, and thereafter hold in trust for the Agent upon
receipt and promptly deliver to the Agent any Document evidencing or
constituting Collateral and (d) upon the Agent’s request, deliver to the
Agent a duly executed amendment to this Security Agreement, in the form of Exhibit H
hereto (each, an “Amendment”), pursuant to which such Grantor will pledge
any additional Collateral.  Each Grantor
hereby authorizes the Agent to attach each Amendment to this Security Agreement
and agrees that all additional collateral set forth in such Amendments shall be
considered to be part of the Collateral.

 

Section 4.5.            Uncertificated
Pledged Collateral.  The Grantors
will permit the Agent from time to time to cause (subject to the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement) the appropriate issuers (and, if held with a
securities intermediary, such securities intermediary) of uncertificated
securities or other types of Pledged Collateral with respect to which the
Grantors collectively own 50% or more of the Equity Interests of the issuer of
such Pledged Collateral not represented by certificates to mark their books and
records with the numbers and face amounts of all such uncertificated securities
or other types of Pledged Collateral not represented by certificates and all
rollovers and replacements therefor to reflect the Lien of the Agent granted
pursuant to this Security Agreement.  The
Grantors will take any actions reasonably necessary to cause (a) the
issuers of uncertificated securities which are Pledged Collateral with respect
to which the Grantors collectively own 50% or more of the Equity Interests of
the issuer of such Pledged Collateral, and (b) any securities intermediary
which is the holder of any Pledged Collateral, to cause the Agent to have and
retain Control over such Pledged Collateral (subject to the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement).  Without limiting
the foregoing, each applicable Grantor will use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause, with respect to Pledged Collateral 

 

20

 

held with a securities intermediary in an account with
an aggregate asset value of $5,000,000 or more, such securities intermediary to
enter into a control agreement with the Agent, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Agent, giving the Agent Control (subject to the terms of
the Intercreditor Agreement).

 

Section 4.6.            Pledged
Collateral.

 

(a)           Registration in Nominee Name; Denominations.  Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement, the Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall hold certificated
Pledged Collateral in the name of the applicable Grantor, endorsed or assigned
in blank or in favor of the Agent, but following the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default shall have the right (in its sole and
absolute discretion) to hold the Pledged Collateral in its own name as pledgee,
or in the name of its nominee (as pledgee or as sub-agent).  Each Grantor will promptly give to the Agent
copies of any notices or other communications received by it with respect to
Pledged Collateral registered in the name of such Grantor.  Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, the Agent shall at all times have the right to exchange the
certificates representing Pledged Collateral for certificates of smaller or
larger denominations for any purpose consistent with this Security Agreement

 

(b)           Any Indebtedness of any Subsidiary that is not a Loan
Party owing to the Company or any Subsidiary that is a Loan Party in excess of
$5,000,000 shall be or become evidenced by a promissory note or other
instrument, and such note or instrument shall be promptly pledged and delivered
to the Agent, duly endorsed in a manner satisfactory to the Agent.

 

(c)           Exercise of Rights in Pledged Collateral.  Subject, in each case, to the Intercreditor
Agreement,

 

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

 

(ii)           Each Grantor will permit the Agent or
its nominee at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, without notice, to exercise all voting rights or other rights
relating to Pledged Collateral, including, without limitation, exchange,
subscription or any other rights, privileges, or options pertaining to any
Equity Interest or Investment Property constituting Pledged Collateral as if it
were the absolute owner thereof.

 

(iii)          Each Grantor shall be entitled to
receive and retain any and all dividends, interest, principal and other
distributions paid on or distributed in respect of the Pledged Collateral to
the extent and only to the extent that such dividends, interest, 

 

21

 

principal and other
distributions are permitted by, and otherwise paid or distributed in accordance
with, the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the other Loan
Documents and applicable law; provided, however, that any
non-cash dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that would
constitute Pledged Collateral, whether resulting from a subdivision,
combination or reclassification of the outstanding Equity Interests of the
issuer of any Pledged Collateral or received in exchange for Pledged Collateral
or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger,
consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may
be a party or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Pledged Collateral,
and, if received by any Grantor, shall not be commingled by such Grantor with
any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart
therefrom, shall be held in trust for the ratable benefit of the Secured
Parties and shall be forthwith delivered to the Agent in the same form as so
received (with any necessary endorsement or instrument of assignment).  The proviso to the first sentence of this
clause (iii) shall not apply to dividends between or among the Company
and the other Loan Parties only of property subject to a perfected security
interest under this Security Agreement; provided that the Company
notifies the Agent in writing, specifically referring to this Section 4.6,
at the time of such dividend and takes any actions the Agent reasonably
specifies to ensure the continuance of its perfected security interest in such
property under this Security Agreement.

 

Section 4.7.            Intellectual
Property.

 

(a)           Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, each Grantor will use its best efforts to obtain all consents and
approvals necessary or appropriate for the assignment to or for the benefit of
the Agent of any License held by such Grantor in order to enforce the security
interests granted hereunder.

 

(b)           Each Grantor shall notify the Agent promptly if it knows
or reasonably expects that any application or registration relating to any
Patent, Trademark or Copyright (now or hereafter existing) material to the
conduct of such Grantor’s business may become abandoned or dedicated, or of any
material adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or
any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States
Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any court)
regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any such Patent, Trademark or Copyright,
its right to register the same, or to keep and maintain the same.

 

(c)           In no event shall any Grantor, either directly or through
any agent, employee, licensee or designee, file an application for the
registration of any material Patent, Trademark or Copyright with the United
States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any
similar office or agency without giving the Agent prompt written notice
thereof, and, upon request of the Agent, such Grantor shall execute and deliver
any and all security agreements or other instruments as the Agent may
reasonably request to evidence the Agent’s security interest in such Patent,
Trademark or Copyright, and the General Intangibles of such Grantor relating
thereto or represented thereby.

 

(d)           Each Grantor shall take all actions necessary or
reasonably requested by the Agent to maintain and pursue each material
application, to obtain the relevant registration 

 

22

 

and to maintain the registration of each of
the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights (now or hereafter existing) material to
the conduct of such Grantor’s business, except in cases where, in the ordinary
course of business consistent with past practice, such Grantor reasonably
decides to abandon, allow to lapse or expire any Patent, Trademark or
Copyright, including the filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use,
affidavits of noncontestability and, if consistent with good business judgment
and past practice, to initiate opposition and interference and cancellation
proceedings against third parties.

 

(e)           Consistent with each Grantor’s past practice, each Grantor
shall, unless it shall reasonably determine that a Patent, Trademark or
Copyright is not material to the conduct of its business, promptly notify the
Agent and shall, if consistent with good business judgment, promptly sue for
infringement, misappropriation or dilution of such Patent, Trademark or
Copyright and to recover any and all damages for such infringement,
misappropriation or dilution, and shall take such other actions as are
appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Patent, Trademark or
Copyright.

 

Section 4.8.            Commercial
Tort Claims.  Each Grantor shall
promptly notify the Agent of any Commercial Tort Claim having a value in excess
of $1,000,000 acquired by it for which such Grantor has filed a complaint in a
court of competent jurisdiction and, unless the Agent otherwise consents, such
Grantor shall update Exhibit E to this Security Agreement, thereby
granting to Agent a first priority security interest in such Commercial Tort
Claim (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement).

 

Section 4.9.            Letter-of-Credit
Rights.  Subject to the Intercreditor
Agreement, if any Grantor is or becomes the beneficiary of a letter of credit
having a face amount in excess of $1,000,000, such Grantor shall promptly
notify the Agent thereof and cause the issuer and/or confirmation bank to (i) consent
to the assignment of any Letter-of-Credit Rights to the Agent and (ii) agree
to direct all payments thereunder following the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default or a Liquidity Event to the BANA Account or
such other account as directed by the Agent for application to the Secured
Obligations, in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, all in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

 

Section 4.10.          No
Interference.  Each Grantor agrees
that it will not interfere with any right, power and remedy of the Agent
provided for in this Security Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or
in equity or by statute or otherwise, or the exercise or beginning of the
exercise by the Agent of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies.

 

Section 4.11.          Insurance.

 

(a)           In the event any Collateral is located in any area that
has been designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a “Special
Flood Hazard Area”, the applicable Grantor shall purchase and maintain flood
insurance on such Collateral (including any personal property which is located
on any real property leased by such Loan Party within a “Special Flood Hazard
Area”).  The amount of all insurance
required by this Section shall at a minimum comply with applicable law,
including the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended.  All premiums on such insurance shall be paid
when due by such Grantor, and copies 

 

23

 

of the policies delivered to the Agent.  If any Grantor fails to obtain any insurance
as required by this Section, the Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders
may obtain such insurance at the Company’s expense.  By purchasing such insurance, the Agent shall
not be deemed to have waived any Default arising from the Grantors’ failure to
maintain such insurance or pay any premiums therefor.

 

(b)           All
insurance policies required under Section 5.10 of the Credit
Agreement (i) shall name the Agent (for the benefit of the Agent and the
other Secured Parties) as an additional insured or as loss payee, as
applicable, and shall contain loss payable clauses or mortgagee clauses,
through endorsements in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, which provide
that (A) all proceeds thereunder with respect to any Collateral shall be
payable to the Agent, (B) no such insurance shall be affected by any act
or neglect of the insured or owner of the property described in such policy,
and (C) such policy and loss payable or mortgagee clauses may be canceled,
amended, or terminated only upon at least thirty days prior written notice
given to the Agent and (ii) shall be maintained with insurers with a Best
Rating of at least A7, unless otherwise approved by the Agent, provided that in
the event of a downgrade of an insurer below A7, each Grantor shall have 45
days (as may be extended upon the approval by the Agent in its sole discretion)
to replace such insurer.

 

Section 4.12.          Collateral
Access Agreements.  Each Grantor
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Collateral Access
Agreement, from the lessor of each of its leased warehouse and distribution
facilities, any holder of indebtedness secured by any Grantor’s real property,
as contemplated by Section 6.01(e)(i) and (ii) of
the Credit Agreement, and the bailee, warehouseman or other third party with
respect to any warehouse or other location, in each case where Collateral is
stored or located.  Each Grantor shall
timely and fully pay and perform its obligations under all leases and other
agreements with respect to each leased location or third-party warehouse where
any Collateral is or may be located.

 

Section 4.13.          Certain
Accounts.  Each Grantor shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to transfer ownership of any account
established in connection with the establishment of the applicable Permitted
Replacement Credit Card Program prior to the establishment thereof or as

ARTICLE V

 

REMEDIES

 

Section 5.1.            Remedies.

 

(a)           Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, the Agent may exercise any or all of the following rights and
remedies:

 

(i)            those rights and remedies provided
in this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document; provided
that this Section 5.1(a) shall not be understood to limit any
rights available to the Agent and the Lenders prior to an Event of Default;

 

24

 

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

 

(iii)          give notice of sole control or any
other instruction under any Credit Card Notification, DDA Notification, Blocked
Account Agreement, Collateral Access Agreement or any other control or similar
agreement and take any action provided therein with respect to the applicable
Collateral;

 

(iv)          without notice (except as specifically
provided in Section 7.1 or elsewhere herein), demand or
advertisement of any kind to any Grantor or any other Person, enter the premises
of any Grantor where any Collateral is located (through self-help and without
judicial process) to collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, sell,
lease, assign, grant an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of,
deliver, or realize upon, the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more
parcels at public or private sale or sales (which sales may be adjourned or
continued from time to time with or without notice and may take place at such
Grantor’s premises or elsewhere), for cash, on credit or for future delivery
without assumption of any credit risk, and upon such other terms as the Agent
may deem commercially reasonable; and

 

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

 

(b)           Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that the compliance
by the Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties with any applicable state or
federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and
compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial
reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

 

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

 

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

 

25

 

(e)           If, after the Credit Agreement has terminated by its terms
and Payment in Full of all other Revolving Facility Obligations has occurred,
there remain Secured Swap Obligations outstanding, the Required Secured Parties
may exercise the remedies provided in this Section 5.1 upon the
occurrence of any event which would allow or require the termination or
acceleration of such Secured Swap Obligations pursuant to the terms of any
relevant Swap Agreement.

 

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

 

(g)           Each Grantor recognizes that the Agent may be unable to
effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral and may be compelled
to resort to one or more private sales thereof. 
Each Grantor also acknowledges that any private sale may result in
prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a
public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such
private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially
unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private.  The Agent shall be under no obligation to
delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary
to permit any Grantor or the issuer of the Pledged Collateral to register such
securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or
under applicable state securities laws, even if any Grantor and the issuer
would agree to do so (it being acknowledged and agreed that no Grantor shall
have any obligation hereunder to do so).

 

(h)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, any rights and remedies
provided in this Section 5.1 shall be subject to the Intercreditor
Agreement.

 

Section 5.2.            Grantor’s
Obligations Upon Default.  Upon the
request of the Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, each Grantor will:

 

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

 

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

 

Section 5.3.            Grant
of Intellectual Property License. 
For the purpose of enabling the Agent to exercise the rights and
remedies under this Article V at such time as the Agent shall 

 

26

 

be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and
remedies, each Grantor hereby (a) grants to the Agent, for the benefit of
the Agent and the Secured Parties, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license
(exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor)
to use, license or sublicense any intellectual property rights now owned or
hereafter acquired by such Grantor, wherever the same may be located, and including
in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be
recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the
compilation or printout thereof and (b) irrevocably agrees that, at any
time and from time to time following the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, the Agent may sell any Grantor’s Inventory directly to
any Person, including without limitation Persons who have previously purchased
any Grantor’s Inventory from such Grantor and in connection with any such sale
or other enforcement of the Agent’s rights under this Security Agreement, may
(subject to any restrictions contained in applicable third party licenses
entered into by a Grantor) sell Inventory which bears any Trademark owned by or
licensed to any Grantor and any Inventory that is covered by any Copyright
owned by or licensed to such Grantor and the Agent may finish any work in
process and affix any relevant Trademark owned by or licensed to any Grantor
and sell such Inventory as provided herein. 
The use of the license granted pursuant to clause (a) of the
preceding sentence by the Agent may be exercised, at the option of the Agent,
only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default; provided,
however, that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into
by the Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon each Grantor
notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default.

 

ARTICLE VI

Section 6.1.            Account
Verification.  The Agent may at any
time and from time to time following the occurrence and during the continuance

the Agent, or in the name of any Grantor communicate (by mail, telephone,
facsimile or otherwise) with the Account Debtors of such Grantor, parties to
contracts with such Grantor and obligors in respect of Instruments of such
Grantor to verify with such Persons, to the Agent’s satisfaction, the existence,
amount, terms of, and any other matter relating to, Accounts, Instruments,
Chattel Paper, payment intangibles and/or other Receivables that are
Collateral.

for Secured Party to Take Certain Action.

 

(a)           Each Grantor irrevocably authorizes the Agent and appoints
the Agent as its attorney in fact (i) at any time and from time to time in
the sole discretion of the Agent (1) to execute on behalf of such Grantor
as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Agent’s
reasonable discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of
the Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, (2) to file a carbon,
photographic or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or any financing
statement with respect to the Collateral as a financing statement and to file
any other financing statement or amendment of a financing statement (which
would not add new collateral or add a debtor) in such offices as the Agent in
its reasonable discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to
maintain the perfection and priority of the Agent’s security interest in the
Collateral, (3) to contact and enter 

 

27

 

into one or more agreements with the issuers
of uncertificated securities which are Pledged Collateral or with securities
intermediaries holding Pledged Collateral as may be necessary or advisable to
give the Agent Control over such Pledged Collateral (subject to the terms of
the Intercreditor Agreement), and (4) to discharge past due taxes,
assessments, charges, fees or Liens on the Collateral (except for such Liens as
are specifically permitted hereunder); (ii) at any time following the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (1) to
endorse and collect any cash proceeds of the Collateral and to apply the
proceeds of any Collateral received by the Agent to the Secured Obligations as
provided herein or in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, subject
to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, (2) to demand payment or
enforce payment of the Receivables in the name of the Agent or any Grantor and
to endorse any and all checks, drafts, and other instruments for the payment of
money relating to the Receivables, (3) to sign any Grantor’s name on any
invoice or bill of lading relating to the Receivables, drafts against any

and dispose of all mail addressed to such Grantor, and (10) to use
information contained in any data processing, electronic or information systems
relating to Collateral; and (iii) to do all other acts and things
necessary to carry out the terms of this Security Agreement; and each Grantor
agrees to reimburse the Agent on demand for any reasonable payment made or any
reasonable documented expense incurred by the Agent in connection with any of
the foregoing; provided that, this authorization shall not relieve any
Grantor of any of its obligations under this Security Agreement or under the
Credit Agreement.

 

(b)           All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified
and approved by the Grantors.  The powers
conferred on the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and Secured Parties, under
this Section 6.2 are solely to protect the Agent’s interests in the
Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Agent or any Secured Party to
exercise any such powers.

 

Section 6.3.            PROXY.  EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES
AND APPOINTS THE AGENT AS ITS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT (AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 6.2
ABOVE) WITH RESPECT TO THE PLEDGED COLLATERAL, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO VOTE SUCH
PLEDGED COLLATERAL, WITH FULL POWER OF SUBSTITUTION TO DO SO.  IN ADDITION TO THE RIGHT TO VOTE ANY SUCH
PLEDGED COLLATERAL, THE APPOINTMENT OF THE AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT
SHALL INCLUDE THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE ALL OTHER RIGHTS, POWERS, PRIVILEGES AND
REMEDIES TO WHICH A HOLDER OF SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL WOULD BE ENTITLED
(INCLUDING GIVING OR WITHHOLDING WRITTEN CONSENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS, CALLING
SPECIAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS AND VOTING AT SUCH MEETINGS).  SUCH PROXY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE, AUTOMATICALLY
AND WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF ANY 

 

28

 

ACTION (INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER OF ANY SUCH PLEDGED
COLLATERAL ON THE RECORD BOOKS OF THE ISSUER THEREOF) BY ANY PERSON (INCLUDING
THE ISSUER OF SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL OR ANY OFFICER OR AGENT THEREOF), UPON
THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT.

 

Section 6.4.            NATURE
OF APPOINTMENT; LIMITATION OF DUTY. 
THE APPOINTMENT OF THE AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT IN THIS
ARTICLE VI IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE UNTIL THE
DATE ON WHICH THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 7.14.  NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED HEREIN,
NEITHER THE AGENT, NOR ANY SECURED PARTY, NOR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE
AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL
HAVE ANY DUTY TO EXERCISE ANY RIGHT OR POWER GRANTED HEREUNDER OR OTHERWISE OR
TO PRESERVE THE SAME AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY FAILURE TO DO SO OR FOR
ANY DELAY IN DOING SO, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH DAMAGES ARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO
THEIR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS FINALLY DETERMINED BY A
COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION; PROVIDED THAT, IN NO EVENT SHALL THEY BE
LIABLE FOR ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

 

ARTICLE VII

GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

Section 7.1.            Waivers.  Each Grantor hereby waives notice of the time
and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other
disposition of all or any part of the Collateral may be made.  To the extent such notice may not be waived
under applicable law, any notice made shall be deemed reasonable if sent to the
Grantors, addressed as set forth in Article VIII, at least ten days prior
to (i) the date of any such public sale or (ii) the time after which
any such private sale or other disposition may be made.  To the maximum extent permitted by applicable
law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Agent or
any Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the
Collateral, except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Agent or such Secured Party as finally determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction.  To the extent
it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and
relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against
the Agent or any Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension,
moratorium, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it
may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might
be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or
decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this
Security Agreement, or otherwise.  Except
as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor hereby waives
presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any
Collateral.

 

29

 

Section 7.2.            Limitation
on Agent’s and Secured Party’s Duty with Respect to the Collateral.  The Agent shall have no obligation to
clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.  The Agent and each Secured Party shall use
reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its
control.  Neither the Agent nor any
Secured Party shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession
or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Agent
or such Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of
rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.  To the extent that applicable law imposes
duties on the Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner,
each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it would be commercially reasonable
for the Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the
Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw
material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for
disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to
Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to
fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or
disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to
exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated
on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to
exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons
obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and
other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral
through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the
Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons,
whether or not in the same business as the Grantor, for expressions of interest
in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or
more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral,
whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to
dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction
of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable
capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to
dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim
disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment,
(xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Agent
against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to
the Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral,
or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Agent, to obtain the
services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other
professionals to assist the Agent in the collection or disposition of any of
the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 7.2
is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the
Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Agent’s exercise of remedies
against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Agent shall
not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being
indicated in this Section 7.2. 
Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 7.2
shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties
on the Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security
Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 7.2.

 

Section 7.3.            Compromises
and Collection of Collateral.  Each
Grantor and the Agent recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other
claims may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Receivables,
that certain of the Receivables may be or become uncollectible in whole or in
part and that the expense and probability of success in litigating a disputed
Receivable may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be
recovered with respect to a Receivable. 
In view of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Agent may at any
time and from time to time, if an Event of Default has occurred and is 

 

30

 

continuing, compromise with the obligor on any
Receivable, accept in full payment of any Receivable such amount as the Agent
in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any Receivable, and any such
action by the Agent shall be commercially reasonable so long as the Agent acts
in good faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any such
action.

 

Section 7.4.            Secured
Party Performance of Debtor Obligations. 
Without having any obligation to do so, the Agent may perform or pay any
obligation which any Grantor has agreed to perform or pay under this Security
Agreement and the Grantor shall reimburse the Agent for any amounts paid by the
Agent pursuant to this Section 7.4. 
Each Grantor’s obligation to reimburse the Agent pursuant to the
preceding sentence shall be a Secured Obligation payable on demand.

 

Section 7.5.            Specific
Performance of Certain Covenants. 
The Grantor acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of the
covenants contained in Sections 4.1(d), 4.1(e), 4.4, 4.5,
4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 4.11, or 5.2,
will cause irreparable injury to the Agent and the Secured Parties, that the
Agent and the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such
breaches and therefore agrees, without limiting the right of the Agent or the
Secured Parties to seek and obtain specific performance of other obligations of
any Grantor contained in this Security Agreement, that the covenants of such
Grantor contained in the Sections referred to in this Section 7.5
shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor.

 

Section 7.6.            Dispositions
Not Authorized.  No Grantor is
authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral except as set forth
in Section 4.1(d) and notwithstanding any course of dealing
between any Grantor and the Agent or other conduct of the Agent, no
authorization to sell, lease or transfer or otherwise dispose of the Collateral
(except as set forth in Section 4.1(d)) shall be binding upon the
Agent or the Secured Parties unless such authorization is in writing signed by
the Agent with the consent or at the direction of the Required Secured Parties.

 

Section 7.7.            No
Waiver; Amendments; Cumulative Remedies.

 

(a)           No delay or omission of the Agent or any Secured Party to
exercise any right or remedy granted under this Security Agreement shall impair
such right or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an
acquiescence therein, and any single or partial exercise of any such right or
remedy shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right or remedy.  No waiver,
amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of this
Security Agreement whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the
Agent with the concurrence or at the direction of the Lenders required under Section 9.02
of the Credit Agreement and then only to the extent in such writing
specifically set forth.  All rights and
remedies contained in this Security Agreement or by law afforded shall be cumulative
and all shall be available to the Agent and the Secured Parties until the
Secured Obligations have been paid in full in cash.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
the Agent hereby undertakes to make appropriate amendments and other
modifications to this Security Agreement and each of the Revolving Facility
Mortgages, at the Company’s expense, in the event that the Term Loan
Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than unripened or 

 

31

 

contingent indemnity obligations under the
relevant Term Loan/Notes Documents for which no demand has been made) and the
Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Agreement shall have been terminated, to (i) include
the Existing Notes Obligations (as defined in the Term Loan Security Agreement)
as additional secured obligations hereunder and under each of the Revolving
Facility Mortgages and (ii) provide to the Existing Notes Secured Parties
(as defined in the Term Loan Security Agreement) the rights and benefits as are
comparable in all material respects to the rights and benefits provided to the
Existing Notes Secured Parties under the Term Loan Security Documents.

 

Section 7.8.            Limitation
by Law; Severability of Provisions. 
All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Security Agreement may
be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any
applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Security Agreement
are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that
may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall
not render this Security Agreement invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be
recorded or registered, in whole or in part. 
Any provision in this Security Agreement that is held to be inoperative,
unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction,
be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining
provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity
of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of
this Security Agreement are declared to be severable.

 

Section 7.9.            Reinstatement.  This Security Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by
or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor
become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or
creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any
significant part of such Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective
or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of
the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law,
rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by
any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent
conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not
been made.  In the event that any
payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the
Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount
paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

 

Section 7.10.          Benefit
of Agreement.  The terms and
provisions of this Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of each Grantor, the Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective
successors and permitted assigns (including all Persons who become bound as a
debtor to this Security Agreement), except that no Grantor shall have the right
to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Security Agreement
or any interest herein, without the prior written consent of the Agent.  No sales of participations, assignments,
transfers, or other dispositions of any agreement governing the Secured
Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner
impair the Lien granted to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Secured
Parties, hereunder.

 

Section 7.11.          Survival
of Representations.  All
representations and warranties of each Grantor contained in this Security
Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement.

 

32

 

Section 7.12.          Taxes
and Expenses.  Each Grantor jointly
and severally agrees to pay any taxes payable or ruled payable by Federal or
State authority in respect of this Security Agreement, together with interest
and penalties, if any.  Each Grantor
jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Agent for any and all reasonable
documented out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by the Agent in connection
with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, collection and
enforcement of this Security Agreement and in the audit, analysis,
administration, collection, preservation or sale of the Collateral (including
the expenses and charges associated with any periodic or special audit of the
Collateral).  Any and all costs and
expenses incurred by any Grantor in the performance of actions required
pursuant to the terms hereof shall be borne solely by such Grantor.

 

Section 7.13.          Additional
Subsidiaries.  Pursuant to and in
accordance with Section 5.11 of the Credit Agreement, each Domestic
Subsidiary (other than any Immaterial Subsidiary (except as otherwise provided
in Section 5.11(e) of the Credit Agreement) or Unrestricted
Subsidiary) of the Company that was not in existence or not a Subsidiary on the
date of the Credit Agreement is required to enter in this Agreement as a
Subsidiary Party promptly upon becoming a Subsidiary.  Upon execution and delivery by the Agent and
a Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of Exhibit L hereto, such
Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Party hereunder with the same force and
effect as if originally named as a Subsidiary Party herein.  The execution and delivery of any such
instrument shall not require the consent of any other Loan Party hereunder.  The rights and obligations of each Loan Party
hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of
any new Loan Party as a party to this Agreement.

 

Section 7.14.          Headings.  The title of and section headings in this
Security Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern
the interpretation of any of the terms and provisions of this Security
Agreement.

 

Section 7.15.          Termination
or Release.

 

(a)           This Security Agreement shall continue in effect until (i) the
Credit Agreement has terminated pursuant to its express terms and (ii) all
of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full
(or with respect to any outstanding Letters of Credit, have been cash
collateralized as required by the Credit Agreement) and no commitments of the
Agent or the Lenders which would give rise to any Secured Obligations are
outstanding.

 

(b)           A Subsidiary Party shall automatically be released from
its obligations hereunder and the security interests created hereunder in the
Collateral of such Subsidiary Party shall be automatically released upon the
consummation of any transaction permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement as a
result of which such Subsidiary Party ceases to be a Subsidiary.

 

(c)           Upon any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition by any
Grantor of any Collateral that is permitted under Section 4.1(d) to
any Person that is not another Grantor or, upon the effectiveness of any
written consent to the release of the security interest granted hereby in any
Collateral pursuant to Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement, the
security interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released.

 

33

 

(d)           In the event that Rule 3-10 or Rule 3-16 of
Regulation S-X of the Exchange Act is amended, modified or interpreted by the
SEC or any other relevant Governmental Authority to require (or is replaced
with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulation
is adopted, which would require) the filing with the SEC (or any other
Governmental Authority) of separate financial statements of any Subsidiary of
the Company due to the fact that the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary are
pledged under this Security Agreement, then the Equity Interests of such
Subsidiary shall automatically be deemed not to be part of the Collateral to
the extent necessary not to be subject to such requirement. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Security Agreement, if Equity Interests of any
Subsidiary are not required to be pledged under this Agreement because Rule 3-10
or Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X of the Exchange Act would require the
filing of separate financial statements of such Subsidiary if its Equity
Interests were so pledged, in the event that Rule 3-10 or Rule 3-16
of Regulation S-X of the Exchange Act is amended, modified or interpreted by
the SEC or any other relevant Governmental Authority to no longer require (or
is replaced with another rule or regulation that would not require) the
filing of separate financial statements of such Subsidiary if some or all of
its Equity Interests are pledged under this Agreement, then such Equity
Interests of such Subsidiary shall automatically be deemed part of the
Collateral and pledged under this Security Agreement.

 

(e)           In connection with any termination or release pursuant to
paragraph (a), (b), (c) or (d) above, the Agent shall promptly
execute and deliver to any Grantor, at such Grantor’s expense, all UCC
termination statements and similar documents that such Grantor shall reasonably
request to evidence such termination or release.  Any execution and delivery of documents
pursuant to this Section 7.15 shall be without recourse to or
representation or warranty by the Agent or any Secured Party.  Without limiting the provisions of Section 7.12,
the Company shall reimburse the Agent upon demand for all reasonable and
documented costs and out of pocket expenses, including the fees, charges and
expenses of counsel, incurred by it in connection with any action contemplated
by this Section 7.15.

 

Section 7.16.          Entire
Agreement.  This Security Agreement,
together with the other Loan Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement,
embodies the entire agreement and understanding between each Grantor and the
Agent relating to the Collateral and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings
between any Grantor and the Agent relating to the Collateral.

 

Section 7.17.          CHOICE OF LAW. 
THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND
GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK , WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY
CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES (BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS RELATING TO
NATIONAL BANKS).

 

Section 7.18.          CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.  EACH GRANTOR HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE
NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT SITTING IN OR WITH
JURISDICTION OVER THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, IN ANY PROCEEDING OR DISPUTE
RELATING IN ANY WAY TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING
SHALL BE BROUGHT BY IT SOLELY IN ANY SUCH COURT.  EACH 

 

34

 

GRANTOR IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL CLAIMS, OBJECTIONS AND DEFENSES THAT IT MAY HAVE
REGARDING SUCH COURT’S PERSONAL OR SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, VENUE OR
INCONVENIENT FORUM.  EACH PARTY HERETO
IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES
IN SECTION 8.1 TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  Nothing herein shall limit the right of the Agent or
any Secured Party to bring proceedings against any Grantor in any other court,
nor limit the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted
by applicable law.  Nothing in this
Agreement shall be deemed to preclude enforcement by the Agent of any judgment
or order obtained in any forum or jurisdiction.

 

Section 7.19.          WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable
Law, each Grantor waives the right to trial by jury (which the Agent and each
Secured Party hereby also waives) in any proceeding or dispute of any kind
relating in any way to any Loan Documents, Obligations or Collateral.  Each Grantor acknowledges that the
foregoing waivers are a material inducement to the Agent entering into this
Agreement and that the Agent and the Secured Parties are relying upon the
foregoing in their dealings with the Grantors. 
Each Grantor has reviewed the foregoing waivers with its legal counsel
and has knowingly and voluntarily waived its jury trial and other rights
following consultation with legal counsel.

 

Section 7.20.          Indemnity.  Each Grantor hereby agrees to indemnify the
Agent and the Secured Parties, and their respective successors, assigns, agents
and employees, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties,
liabilities, and related expenses (including, without limitation, all expenses
of litigation or preparation therefor whether or not the Agent or any Secured
Party is a party thereto) imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent
or the Secured Parties, or their respective successors, assigns, agents and
employees, in any way relating to or arising out of this Security Agreement, or
the ownership, delivery, lease, possession, use, operation, condition, sale,
return or other disposition of any Collateral (including any claim for Patent,
Trademark or Copyright infringement).

 

Section 7.21.          Counterparts.  This Security Agreement may be executed in
any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one
agreement, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Security Agreement by
signing any such counterpart.

 

Section 7.22.          INTERCREDITOR
AGREEMENT GOVERNS.  NOTWITHSTANDING
ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, THE LIEN AND SECURITY INTEREST GRANTED TO THE
AGENT, FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE SECURED PARTIES, PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND
THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY BY THE AGENT AND THE OTHER SECURED PARTIES
HEREUNDER ARE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.  IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT OR INCONSISTENCY
BETWEEN THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND THIS AGREEMENT, THE
PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL CONTROL.

 

35

 

Section 7.23.          Delivery
of Collateral.  Prior to the Term
Loan First Lien Collateral Transition Date, to the extent any Grantor is
required hereunder to deliver Collateral to the Agent for purposes of
possession and control and is unable to do so as a result of having previously
delivered such Collateral to the Term Loan Collateral Agent in accordance with
the terms of the Term Loan Security Documents, such Grantor’s obligations
hereunder with respect to such delivery shall be deemed satisfied by the delivery
to the Term Loan Agent, acting as a gratuitous bailee of the Agent.

 

Section 7.24.          Mortgages.

 

(a)           In the case of a conflict between this Security Agreement
and the Mortgages with respect to Collateral that is real property (including
Fixtures), the Mortgages shall govern. 
In all other conflicts between this Security Agreement and the
Mortgages, this Security Agreement shall govern.

 

(b)           In the event that the Term Loan Obligations shall have
been paid in full (other than unripened or contingent indemnity obligations
under the relevant Term Loan/Notes Documents for which no demand has been made)
with the proceeds of any substantially contemporaneous issuance of unsecured
Indebtedness or Qualified Equity Interests of any Grantor, and the Senior
Secured Term Loan Credit Agreement shall have been terminated, the Company
shall, at the Company’s expense (i) amend the Revolving Facility Mortgages
concerning the Mortgaged Properties located in Florida, Georgia, New York,
Virginia or any other State that imposes a mortgage tax, in each case to
increase the amount of Secured Obligations secured by such Revolving Facility
Mortgage to 100% of the fair market value of such Mortgaged Property at such
time, as determined by the Company in good faith and reasonably acceptable to
the Agent and (ii) cause the amount of title insurance policy on each
Mortgaged Property to be increased to the fair market value of such Mortgaged
Property at such time as so determined. 
The Company shall pay any and all increased mortgage taxes associated
with the Mortgaged Properties located in the States identified or referred to
in clause (i) above and shall cause to be filed any documents,
agreements and instruments which may be required by law or which the Agent may
reasonably request to carry out the terms and conditions of this
paragraph (b).

 

Section 7.25.          Acknowledgement
of Agent.  The Agent acknowledges and
agrees that, notwithstanding the occurrence or existence of a Liquidity Event
or an Event of Default, upon receipt by the Agent of a written request of the
Company signed by a Financial Officer of the Company setting forth the amount
of Specified In-Store Credit Card Payments, Consignment Proceeds or
Leased-Department Proceeds requested to be released and a reasonably detailed
calculation of the basis therefor, together with such supplemental information
in connection therewith as the Agent may reasonably request, the Agent shall,
within ten (10) Business Days after the Agent’s receipt of such initial
notice, transfer any such Specified In-Store Credit Card Payments, Consignment
Proceeds or Leased-Department Proceeds on deposit in the BANA Account or such
other account as directed by the Agent to the operating account of the Company
specified in such notice or to such other account as the Company may direct in
such notice.

COMMERCIAL
TORT CLAIMS

 

The
Neiman Marcus Group, Inc. (“NMG”) is currently involved in a
trademark dispute with Alvin and Rosanna Green over their use of the trademark “Last
Call” in domain names supporting their internet business. Both sides have filed
complaints against the other in the Northern District of Texas, with Mr. and
Mrs. Green alleging, among other things, that the “Last Call” trademark is
generic and descriptive, and thus not enforceable. NMG has countered with
claims for statutory damages under the Anti-Cyber-Squatting Act as well as
damages for trademark infringement under state and federal law. Mr. and Mrs. Green
are representing themselves in this litigation. Previously, NMG was successful
in prosecuting a UDRP claim against Mr. and Mrs. Green relating to
the domain name lastcallsales.com, which resulted in the Mr. Green’s
registration of several other domain names employing the LAST CALL trademark
and the above-mentioned litigation. NMG has owned the LAST CALL trademark since
1979, and intends to aggressively enforce and protect its mark in this
litigation.

LANDLORD
WAIVER/COLLATERAL ACCESS AGREEMENT

 

This Landlord Waiver (the “Waiver”) is entered
into as of July     , 2009 between
                    
(the “Landlord”), and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as administrative agent
(the “Agent”) for the lenders (collectively referred to herein as the “Lenders”)
from time to time party to the Loan Documents described below.

 

Landlord is the owner of the real property commonly known as [Insert
Street Address, City, State, Zip Code] (the “Premises”).

 

Landlord has entered into that certain lease agreement (together with
any renewals, extensions, amendments, modifications, substitutions or
replacements thereof, the “Lease”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A,
with The Neiman Marcus Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
with respect to the Premises.

 

The Company and certain of its affiliates have entered, and may from
time to time enter, into a credit agreement and other documents (the “Loan
Documents”) evidencing a financing arrangement with the Agent and the
Lenders.  The Company has also agreed to
secure its obligations and liabilities under the Loan Documents (the “Obligations”)
by granting a security interest to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and
the Lenders, among other things, in substantially all of the Company’s “inventory”
(as such term is defined in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in
effect from time to time in the state in which the Premises are located), which
is located at the Premises (such inventory, the “Collateral”).

 

In connection with the Loan Documents, the Lenders have required that
the Company obtain this Waiver from the Landlord in connection with its lease
of the Premises, and the Landlord hereby agrees and covenants with the Agent as
follows:

 

1.             The Landlord
acknowledges that the Lease is in full force and effect and is not aware of any
existing default under the Lease, including any default or right to terminate
arising from the Company’s granting the Agent of a lien on the Collateral.

 

2.             The Landlord
acknowledges the validity of the Agent’s lien on the Collateral and agrees to
subordinate any interest in the Collateral that it may have to the interest of
Agent therein and agrees not to levy or distrain upon any Collateral or to
claim or assert any lien, right or other claim against any Collateral for any
reason until the earlier to occur of (a) satisfaction of the Obligations,
and (b) commencement by the Agent of foreclosure on the Collateral.

 

3.             The Landlord agrees
that it shall send to Agent a copy of any notice of default or termination
delivered pursuant to the Lease (a “Default Notice”) simultaneously with
the delivery thereof to Company.  No
action by the Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Waiver shall be deemed to be
an assumption by the Agent or the Lenders of any obligation under the 

 

1

 

Lease, and except as expressly provided in paragraphs
6, 7, 8 and 9 below, the Agent shall not have any obligation to the Landlord.

 

4.             The Landlord agrees
that the Collateral is and shall remain personal property of the Company
regardless of the manner or mode of attachment of any item of Collateral to the
Premises and shall not be deemed to be fixtures.

 

5.             The Landlord agrees
that, following possession of the Premises by Landlord, the Collateral may be
inspected and evaluated by the Agent or its designee, without necessity of
court order, at any time during reasonable business hours, upon one (1) business
day’s notice and subject to Landlord’s reasonable security requirements,
without payment of any fee.  Upon the
occurrence of an event of default with respect to the payment or performance of
the Obligations by the Company upon termination of the Company’s lease (each a “Disposition
Event”), the Agent may take possession of the Premises for a period not to
exceed one hundred eighty (180) days (the “Disposition Period”)
following the occurrence of the Disposition Event and the Landlord agrees that,
at the Agent’s option, the Collateral may remain upon the Premises during such
time; provided that the Agent pays rent on a per diem basis for the period of
time that the Agent remains on the Premises, based upon the amount of rent set
forth in the Lease.  If any injunction or
stay is issued (including an automatic stay due to a bankruptcy proceeding)
that prohibits the Agent from removing the Collateral, commencement of the
Disposition Period shall be deferred until such injunction or stay is lifted or
removed.

 

6.             During any
Disposition Period, (a) the Agent or its designee may, without necessity
of court order, enter upon the Premises at any time during normal business
hours to inspect or remove all or any Collateral from the Premises without
interference by the Landlord, and the Agent or its designee may sell, transfer,
or otherwise dispose of any Collateral free of all liens, claims, demands,
rights and interests that the Landlord may have in that Collateral by law or
agreement, including, without limitation, by public auction or private sale
(and the Agent may advertise and conduct such auction or sale at the Premises,
and shall use reasonable efforts to notify the Landlord of its intention to
hold any such auction or sale), in each case, without interference by the
Landlord and (b) the Agent shall make the Premises available for
inspection by the Landlord and prospective tenants and shall cooperate in
Landlord’s reasonable efforts to re-lease the Premises or to enter into a new
service agreement with another party.

 

7.             Following any
delivery of a Default Notice by Landlord to Agent, Landlord shall not exercise
any of its remedies against Company 
provided in favor of Landlord under the Lease or at law or in equity
until the date which is 60 days after the date Landlord delivered the Default
Notice to the Agent, (such 60 day period being referred to as the “Standstill
Period”), provided, however, if such default by its nature cannot reasonably be
cured by the Agent within such 60 day period, the Agent shall have such
additional period of time as may be reasonably necessary to cure such default,
so long as the Agent commences such curative measures within such 60 day period
and thereafter proceeds diligently to complete such curative measures.  The Agent shall have the right, but not the
obligation, during the Standstill Period, to cure any such default and Landlord
shall accept any such cure by the Agent or the Company.  If, during the Standstill Period, the Agent
or the Company or any other Person cures any such default, then Landlord shall
rescind the Default Notice.

 

2

 

8.             In the event of a
termination, disaffirmance or rejection of the Lease by the Company for any
reason, including, without limitation, pursuant to any bankruptcy or other
insolvency laws, or the termination of the Lease for any reason by Landlord (in
each case, notice of which shall promptly be provided by the Landlord to the
Agent), the Agent shall have the right, at any time prior to the expiration of
90 days after the later of such event and the date on which the Landlord
obtains possession of the Premises (the period ending on such date being the “Election
Period”), and provided all monetary defaults under the Lease have been
cured, to enter into a new lease agreement relating to the Premises, in the
name of the Agent (or a designee to be named by the Agent at such time), for
the remainder of the term of the Lease and upon all of the terms and conditions
thereof, or, if the Agent shall elect not to exercise such right (such election
to be made by the Agent at its sole discretion), the Agent shall have the
right, until the expiration of the Election Period, to enter upon the Premises
for the purpose of selling or removing the Collateral therefrom; provided
that all rent and other charges that would have accrued during such period are
paid to Landlord by Agent.

 

9.             The Agent shall, at Landlord’s option,
promptly repair, at the Agent’s expense, or reimburse the Landlord for the
costs of repairing any physical damage to the Premises actually caused by the
conduct of any auction or sale and any removal of the Collateral by or through
the Agent (ordinary wear and tear excluded). 
Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall (a) be liable to the
Landlord for any diminution in value caused by the absence of any removed
Collateral or for any other matter except as specifically set forth herein or (b) have
any duty or obligation to remove or dispose of any Collateral or other property
left on the Premises by the Company.

 

10.           Without affecting
the validity of this Waiver, any of the Obligations may be extended, amended,
or otherwise modified without the consent of the Landlord and without giving
notice thereof to the Landlord.  This
Waiver shall inure to the benefit of the successor and assigns of the Agent and
shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns of the Landlord.  The person
signing this Waiver on behalf of the Landlord represents to the Agent that
he/she has the authority to do so on behalf of the Landlord.

 

11.           All notices
hereunder shall be in writing and sent by certified mail (return receipt
requested), overnight mail, or facsimile or other electronic delivery (e.g., “.pdf”)
(with a copy to be sent by certified or overnight mail), to the other party at
the address set forth on the signature page hereto or at such other
address as such other party shall otherwise designate in accordance with this
paragraph.

 

12.           This Waiver may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an
original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same
agreement.  Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page to this Waiver by telecopier or other electronic
delivery (e.g., “.pdf”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Waiver.

 

13.           This Waiver is
governed by the laws of [the state that governs the Lease] (the “Lease
Jurisdiction”).  The Landlord agrees
that any legal action or proceeding with respect to any of its obligations
under this Waiver may be brought by the Agent in any state or federal court
located in the Lease Jurisdiction.  By
its execution and delivery of this Waiver, the Landlord 

 

3

 

submits to and accepts, for itself and in respect of
its property, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of
those courts.  The Landlord waives any
claim that the Lease Jurisdiction is not a convenient forum or the proper venue
for any such action or proceeding.

 

14.           WAIVER OF SPECIAL DAMAGES.  THE LANDLORD WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT
NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT THE LANDLORD MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER
FROM ANY OF THE LENDERS IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ANY SPECIAL,
EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

 

15.           JURY WAIVER.  THE LANDLORD AND THE AGENT HEREBY
VOLUNTARILY, KNOWLINGLY, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO
HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THE LANDLORD AND THE
AGENT IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS WAIVER.

 

16.           This Waiver shall
continue in full force and affect until the indefeasible payment in full of all
Obligations.

of Security Agreement and Section 5.11 of the Credit Agreement
provide that additional Domestic Subsidiaries of the Borrower may become
Subsidiary Parties under the Security Agreement by execution and delivery of an
instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Subsidiary (the “New Subsidiary”) is executing this
Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement to
become a Subsidiary Party under the Security Agreement in order to induce the
Lenders to make additional Loans and the Issuing Bank to issue additional
Letters of Credit and as consideration for Loans previously made and Letters of
Credit previously issued.

 

Accordingly, the Agent and the New Subsidiary hereby agree as follows:

 

SECTION 1.           In
accordance with Section 7.13 of the Security Agreement, the New
Subsidiary by its signature below becomes a Subsidiary Party and Grantor under
the Security Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named
therein as a Subsidiary Party and the New Subsidiary hereby (a) agrees to
all the terms and provisions of the Security Agreement applicable to it as a
Subsidiary Party and Grantor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants
that the representations and warranties made by it as a Grantor thereunder are
true and correct on and as of the date hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing,
the New Subsidiary, as security for the payment and performance in full of the
Secured Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement), does hereby create
and grant to the Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the
Secured Parties, their successors and assigns, a security interest in and Lien
on all 

 

L-1

 

of the New Subsidiary’s right, title and interest in
and to the Collateral of the New Subsidiary. Each reference to a “Grantor” in
the Security Agreement shall be deemed to include and be a reference to the New
Subsidiary. The Security Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

 

SECTION 2.           The New
Subsidiary represents and warrants to the Agent and the other Secured Parties
that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and
constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in
accordance with its terms.

 

SECTION 3.           This
Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of
which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement
shall become effective when the Agent shall have received a counterpart of this
Supplement that bears the signature of the New Subsidiary and the Agent has
executed a counterpart hereof. Delivery of an executed signature page to
this Supplement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of
a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.

 

SECTION 4.           The New
Subsidiary hereby represents and warrants that (a) set forth on Schedule I
attached hereto is a true and correct schedule of the location of any and all
Collateral of the New Subsidiary, (b) set forth on Schedule II attached
hereto is a true and correct schedule of all the Pledged Collateral of the New
Subsidiary, (c) set forth on Schedule III attached hereto is a true and
correct schedule of all Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights of the New
Subsidiary and (d) set forth under its signature hereto, is the true and
correct legal name of the New Subsidiary, its jurisdiction of formation and the
location of its chief executive office.

 

SECTION 5.           Except
as expressly supplemented hereby, the Security Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect.

 

SECTION 6.         THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY,
AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

SECTION 7.           In case
any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Security
Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being
understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision
in any other jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith
negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with
valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to
that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

 

SECTION 8.           All
communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided
in Section 8.1 of the Security Agreement.

 

2

 

SECTION 9.           The New
Subsidiary agrees to reimburse the Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses in connection with this Supplement, including the reasonable fees,
other charges and disbursements of counsel for the Agent.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the New Subsidiary and the Agent have duly executed
this Supplement to the Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement as of
the day and year first above written.

Section 10.             No Assumption of Liability.  Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that
this Agreement does not constitute an assumption by the New Agent of any
liability of the Existing Agent under the Existing Revolving Facility
Documents, except as expressly contemplated hereby.

 

Section 11.             Governing Law and Forum.  This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States
of America sitting in the Borough of Manhattan and any appellate court from any
thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding
may be heard and determined, to the fullest extent permitted by law, in any
such court and each party irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, the jurisdiction of any other courts to such
action or proceeding.  Each of the
parties hereto agrees that a final non-appealable judgment in any such action
or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be recognized and enforced in any
jurisdiction by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and
unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do
so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of
any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in
any New York State or federal court. 
Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the
maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

 

Section 12.             Novation.  This Agreement shall in no way be construed
as a novation of the Existing Revolving Facility Documents.  Nothing herein is intended to be or shall
constitute a release, cancellation or extinguishment of the obligations, rights
or duties of any party other than the Existing Agent under the Existing
Revolving Facility Documents, but such obligations, rights and duties shall
continue in full force and effect, as supplemented, modified and amended by
this Agreement.

 

Section 13.             Counterparts; Severability.  This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a
signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic
transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart
of this Agreement.  To the extent
permitted by law, any

provision of this Agreement
held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to
such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality
or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability
of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision
in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other
jurisdiction.
