of any other event that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on the aggregate value of the Collateral or on the security interests
created hereby or by any Mortgage.

 

5.6  Investment Property.  (a)  If such Grantor shall become
entitled to receive or shall receive any certificate (including, without
limitation, any certificate representing a dividend or a distribution in
connection with any reclassification, increase or reduction of capital or any
certificate issued in connection with any reorganization), option or rights in
respect of the Capital Stock of any Issuer, whether in addition to, in
substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for, any shares of the
Pledged Stock, or otherwise in respect thereof, such Grantor shall accept the
same as the agent of the Collateral Agent, hold the same in trust for the
Collateral Agent and deliver the same forthwith to the Collateral Agent in the
exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if

for the Obligations, and in case any distribution of capital shall be made on
or in respect of the Investment Property or any property shall be distributed
upon or with respect to the Investment Property pursuant to the
recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of any Issuer or pursuant
to the reorganization thereof, the property so distributed shall, unless
otherwise subject to a perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral
Agent, be delivered to the Collateral Agent to be held by it hereunder as
additional collateral security for the Obligations. If any sums of money or
property so paid or distributed in respect of the Investment Property shall be
received by such Grantor, such Grantor shall, until such money or property is
paid or delivered to the Collateral Agent, hold such money or property in trust
for the Collateral Agent, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, as additional
collateral security for the Obligations.

 

(b)  Such Grantor will not (i) vote
to enable, or take any other action to permit, any Issuer to issue any Capital
Stock of any nature or to issue any other securities convertible into or
granting the right to purchase or exchange for any Capital Stock of any nature
of any Issuer (except as expressly permitted by each of the Note Documents), (ii) sell,
assign, transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with
respect to, the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof (except pursuant to a
transaction expressly permitted by each of the Note Documents), (iii) create,
incur or pet trait to exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any
Person with respect to, any of the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof, or
any interest therein, except for the security interests created by this
Agreement (except as expressly permitted by each of the Note Documents) or (iv) enter
into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of such
Grantor or the Collateral Agent to sell, assign or transfer any of the
Investment Property or Proceeds thereof (except as expressly permitted by each
of the Note Documents).

 

(c)  In the case of each Grantor
that is an Issuer, such Issuer agrees that (i) it will be bound by the
terms of this Agreement relating to the Investment Property issued by it and
will comply with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it, (ii) it
will notify the Collateral Agent promptly in writing of the occurrence of any
of the events described in Section 5.6(a) with respect to the
Investment Property issued by it and (iii) the terms of Sections 6.3(c) and
6.6 shall apply to it, mutatis  mutandis, with respect to all
actions that may be required of it pursuant to Section 6.3(c) or 6.6
with respect to the Investment Property issued by it. Upon execution hereof,
the Grantors shall cause each Issuer that is not a party to this Agreement to
execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent an Acknowledgement and Consent in
the form attached hereto as Annex 2.

 

5.7  Intellectual Property.  (a)  Such Grantor (either itself or
through licensees) will (i) continue to use each material Trademark on
each and every trademark class of goods applicable to its current line as
reflected in its current catalogs, brochures and price lists in order to
maintain such Trademark in full force free from any claim of abandonment for
non-use, (ii) maintain as in the past the quality of products and services
offered under such Trademark, (iii) use such Trademark with the
appropriate notice of registration and all other notices and legends required
by applicable Requirements of Law, (iv) not adopt or use any mark which is
confusingly similar or a colorable imitation of such Trademark unless the
Collateral Agent shall obtain a perfected security interest in such mark

sublicensee thereof to) do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby such
Trademark may become invalidated or impaired in any way.

 

15

 

(b)  Such Grantor (either itself or
through licensees) will not do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any
material Patent may become forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public.

 

(c)  Such Grantor (either itself or
through licensees) (i) will employ each material Copyright and (ii) will
not (and will not permit any licensee or sublicensee thereof to) do any act or
knowingly omit to do any act whereby any material portion of the Copyrights may
become invalidated or otherwise impaired. Such Grantor will not (either itself

or registration relating to any material Intellectual Property may become
forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public, or of any adverse
determination or development (including, without limitation, 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 or tribunal in any country) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of, or the
validity of, any material Intellectual Property or such Grantor’s right to
register the same or to own and maintain the same.

 

(f)  Whenever such Grantor, either
by itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, shall file an
application for the registration of any Intellectual Property with the United
States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any
similar office or agency in any other country or any political subdivision
thereof, such Grantor shall report such filing to the Collateral Agent within
five Business Days after the last day of the fiscal quarter in which such
filing occurs. Such Grantor shall execute and deliver, and have recorded, any
and all agreements, instruments, documents, and papers necessary to evidence
the Collateral Agent’s security interest in any Copyright, Patent or Trademark
and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or
represented thereby.

 

(g)  Such Grantor will take all
reasonable and necessary steps, including, without limitation, in any
proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United
States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency in any other country or
any political subdivision thereof, to maintain and pursue each application (and
to obtain the relevant registration) and to maintain each registration of the
material Intellectual Property, including, without limitation, filing of
applications for renewal, affidavits of use and affidavits of incontestability.

 

(h)  In the event that any material
Intellectual Property is infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third
party, such Grantor shall (i) take such actions as such Grantor shall
reasonably deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such
Intellectual Property and (ii) if such Intellectual Property is of
material economic value, promptly notify the Collateral Agent after it learns
thereof and sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution, seek injunctive
relief where appropriate and recover any and all damages for such infringement,
misappropriation or dilution.

 

5.8  Receivables.  (a)            Other
than in the ordinary course of business consistent with its past practice, such
Grantor will not (i) grant any extension of the time of payment of any
Receivable, (ii) compromise or settle any Receivable for less than the
full amount thereof, (iii) release, wholly or 

 

16

 

partially, any Person liable
for the payment of any Receivable, (iv) allow any credit or discount
whatsoever on any Receivable or (v) amend, supplement or modify any
Receivable in any manner that could adversely affect the value thereof.

 

(b)  Such Grantor will deliver to
the Collateral Agent a copy of each material demand, notice or document
received by it that questions or calls into doubt the validity or
enforceability of any of the then outstanding Receivables.

 

5.9  Securities Accounts and
Deposit Account.  No Grantor shall
maintain or establish any Deposit Account or any Securities Account included in
the Collateral with any financial institution unless such Grantor, the
Collateral Agent, in the case of First-Priority Collateral, the Bank
Administrative Agent, in the case of Second-Priority Collateral, and such
financial institution shall have entered into a control agreement in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, in the case of
First-Priority Collateral, or the Bank Administrative Agent, in the case of
Second-Priority Collateral, with respect to such Deposit Account or Securities
Account included in the Collateral or the Collateral Agent, in the case of
First-Priority Collateral, or the Bank Administrative Agent, in the case of
Second-Priority Collateral, otherwise has “control” (within the meaning of the
Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction) of such Deposit Account
or Securities Account included in the Collateral.

the case may be, all taxes, assessments and government charges or levies
imposed upon the Collateral or in respect of income or profits therefrom, as
well as all claims of any kind (including, without limitation, claims for
labor, material and supplies) against or with respect to the Collateral, except
that no such charge need be paid if the amount or validity thereof is currently
being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, reserves in
conformity with GAAP with respect thereto have been provided on the books of
such Grantor and such proceedings could not reasonably be expected to result in
the sale, forfeiture or loss of any material portion of the Collateral or any
interest therein.

 

5.11  Good Standing Certificates.  Not less frequently than once during each
fiscal year, such Grantor shall provide to the Collateral Agent a certificate
of good standing from its state of incorporation or organization.

acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement with
respect to the Collateral or amendment or termination statement with respect to

SECTION 6.  REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

 

6.1  Certain Matters Relating to
Receivables.  (a)  The
Collateral Agent shall have the right to make test verifications of the
Receivables in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably considers
advisable, and each Grantor shall furnish all such assistance and information
required in connection with such test verifications; and at any time and from
time to time, upon the Collateral Agent’s request and at the expense of the
relevant Grantor, such Grantor shall cause independent public accountants or
others satisfactory to the Collateral Agent to furnish to the Collateral Agent
reports showing reconciliations, aging and test verifications of, and trial
balances for, the Receivables.

 

17

 

(b)  The Collateral Agent shall
authorize each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Receivables, subject to the
Collateral Agent’s direction and control, and the Collateral Agent may curtail
or terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default. If required by the Collateral Agent at any
time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
any payments of Receivables, when collected by any Grantor, (i) shall be
forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days) deposited by such
Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the
Collateral Agent if required, in the Second-Priority Collateral Account
maintained under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent, subject
to withdrawal by the Collateral Agent only as provided in Section 8.5 and
the rights of the Bank Administrative Agent pursuant to the Intercreditor
Agreement, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in
trust for the Collateral Agent, segregated from other funds of such Grantor;
and each such deposit of Proceeds of Receivables shall be accompanied by a
report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments
included in the deposit.

 

(c)  At the Collateral Agent’s
request, each Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent all original and
other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions
which gave rise to the Receivables, including, without limitation, all original
orders, invoices and shipping receipts.

 

6.2  Communications with
Grantors; Grantors Remain Liable. 
(a)               The Collateral
Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default communicate with
obligors under the Receivables to verify with them to the Collateral Agent’s
satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Receivable.

 

(b)  Without limiting or affecting
any other right or remedy of the Collateral Agent hereunder, upon the request
of the Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall notify obligors on the
Receivables that the Receivables have been assigned to the Collateral Agent and
that any payments owing to such Grantor in respect thereof shall be made
directly to the Collateral Agent.

 

(c)  Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the
Receivables to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be
observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of
any agreement giving rise thereto. The Collateral Agent shall not have any
obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise
thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the
Collateral Agent of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Collateral
Agent be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any
Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise
thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the
sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any
performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any
action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts
which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time
or times.

 

6.3  Pledged Stock.  (a)  Unless an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given
notice to the relevant Grantor of the Collateral Agent’s intent to exercise its
corresponding rights pursuant to Section 6.3(b), each Grantor shall be
permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Stock
and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes, in each case paid in the
normal course of business of the relevant Issuer and consistent with past
practice, to the extent permitted in the Note Documents, and to exercise all 

 

18

 

voting and corporate or
other organizational rights with respect to the Investment Property; provided,
however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate or other organizational
right exercised or other action taken which would impair the Collateral or
which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of
this Agreement or any Note Document.

 

(b)  If an Event of Default shall
occur and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall give notice of its
intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, subject to
the Intercreditor Agreement, (i) the Collateral Agent shall have the right
to receive any and all cash dividends, payments, additional Capital Stock or
property or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Investment Property and make
application thereof to the Obligations in such order as the Collateral Agent
may determine, and (ii) any or all of the Investment Property shall be
registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee, and the
Collateral Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (x) all voting,
corporate and other rights pertaining to such Investment Property at any
meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (y) any
and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights,
privileges or options pertaining to such Investment Property as if it were the
absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at
its discretion any and all of the Investment Property upon the merger,
consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in
the corporate or other organizational structure of any Issuer, or upon the
exercise by any Grantor or the Collateral Agent of any right, privilege or
option pertaining to such Investment Property, and in connection therewith, the
right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Investment Property with any
committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency
upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may determine), all
without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but
the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor or any Secured Party to
exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for
any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

 

(c)  Each Grantor hereby authorizes
and instructs each Issuer of any Investment Property pledged by such Grantor
hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the
Collateral Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such
Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in
so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay
any dividends or other payments with respect to the Investment Property
directly to the Collateral Agent.

 

6.4  Application of Proceeds.  The Collateral Agent may apply, subject to
the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, all or any part of Proceeds
constituting Collateral, whether or not held in a Collateral Account, in
accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. Any balance of such Proceeds
remaining after the Obligations shall have been paid in full shall be paid over
to the Grantors or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

 

6.5  Code and Other Remedies.  If an Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, the Collateral Agent may, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement, exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to
them in this Agreement, in the Mortgages and in any other instrument or agreement
securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of
a secured party under the New York UCC or any other applicable law. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent, without demand
of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice
of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon
any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses,
advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may, subject to the terms of the
Intercreditor 

 

19

 

Agreement, in such
circumstances forthwith (i) collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon
the Collateral, or any part thereof, (ii) transfer all or any part of the
Collateral into the Collateral Agent’s name or the name of its nominee or
nominees, (iii) vote all or any part of the Pledged Stock (whether or not
transferred into the name of the Collateral Agent) and give all consents,
waivers and ratification in respect of the Pledged Stock and otherwise act with
respect thereto as though it were the outright owner thereof (each Grantor
hereby irrevocably constituting and appointing the Collateral Agent the proxy
and attorney-in-fact of such Grantor, with full power of substitution to do so)
and to exercise any and all of the rights or power of such Grantor in its
capacity as shareholder of any relevant Issuer, and/or (iv) forthwith
sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose
of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the
foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any
exchange, broker’s board or office of the Collateral Agent or elsewhere upon
such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may
deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of
any credit risk. The Collateral Agent shall have the right, subject to the
terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, upon any such public sale or sales, and,
to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to
purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or
equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and
released. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing,
each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble the
Collateral and, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, make it
available to the Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall
reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere, and
promptly to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such instruments or
other documents as may be necessary or advisable to enable the Collateral Agent
or its agent or representative to obtain, subject to the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement, possession of all or any part of the Collateral the
possession of which the Collateral Agent shall at the time be entitled to
hereunder. The Collateral Agent shall, subject to the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement, also be entitled, so long as an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, to occupy any premises owned or leased by any
Grantor where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a
reasonable period to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law,
without obligation to such Grantor for such occupation and to otherwise
exercise, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, any and all
rights and remedies of any Grantor under or in connection with the Collateral,
or otherwise in respect of the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall apply the
net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.5, after
deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in
connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the
Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the
Collateral Agent hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’
fees and disbursements, in the manner required by Section 8.5, and only
after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any
other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of
the New York UCC, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to
any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all
claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent arising
out of the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any rights hereunder. If any
notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required
by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10
days before such sale or other disposition.

 

6.6  Registration Rights.  (a)               If
the Collateral Agent shall, subject to the terns of the Intercreditor
Agreement, determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged
Stock pursuant to Section 6.5, and if it is necessary or advisable to have
the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the
provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant Grantor will 

 

20

 

cause the Issuer thereof to (i) execute
and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such Issuer to execute and
deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all
such other acts as may be necessary or advisable to register the Pledged Stock,
or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act,
(ii) use its best efforts to cause the registration statement relating
thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one year
from the date of the first public offering of the Pledged Stock, or that
portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or
to the related prospectus which are reasonably necessary or advisable, all in
conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. Each
Grantor agrees to cause such Issuer to comply with the provisions of the
securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any and all applicable jurisdictions and to
make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings
statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of
the Securities Act.

 

(b)  Each Grantor recognizes that
the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the
Pledged Stock, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities
Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to
resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers
which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities
for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or
resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale
may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a
public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such
private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable
manner. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of
any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer
thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act,
or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to
do so.

 

(c)  Each Grantor agrees to use its
best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary
to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Stock pursuant
to this Section 6.6 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all
other applicable Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach
of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.6 will cause
irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, that the
Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in
respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant
contained in this Section 6.6 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 Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

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

 

6.8  Proceeds to be Turned Over
To Collateral Agent.  In addition to
the rights of the Collateral Agent specified in Section 6.1 with respect
to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, all Proceeds with respect to Second-Priority Collateral received by
any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held
by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties,
segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt
by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form
received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral
Agent, if

 

21

 

required). All Proceeds with
respect to Second-Priority Collateral received by the Collateral Agent
hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent in the Second-Priority
Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control; provided,
that the security interest and lien of the Bank Administrative Agent pursuant
to the Bank Documents shall have been satisfied and discharged in full with
respect to such Proceeds and the Collateral Agent is not required under the
Intercreditor Agreement to deliver such Proceeds to the Bank Administrative
Agent. All Proceeds with respect to Second-Priority Collateral while held by
the Collateral Agent in the Second-Priority Collateral Account (or by such
Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties) shall
continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall
not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided by the Indenture.

 

SECTION 7.  ACTIONS AFTER EVENT OF DEFAULT

 

7.1  General Authority of the
Collateral Agent over the Collateral. 
Each Grantor and, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, each Secured
Party, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent and any
officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and
lawful attorney-in-fact with full power and authority in its or his own name,
from time to time in the Collateral Agent’s discretion so long as an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, to take any and all actions and to
execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or
desirable to carry out the tetras of this Agreement and accomplish the purposes
hereof.

 

7.2  Judicial Proceedings and
Insolvency Events.  If an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent (i) shall
have the right and power to institute, maintain, defend and participate in such
suits and proceedings as it may deem appropriate to protect and enforce the
rights vested in it by this Agreement and the interests of the Secured Parties,
(ii) may, either after entry, or without entry, proceed by suit or suits
at law or in equity to enforce such rights and to foreclose upon the Collateral
and to sell all or, from time to time, any of the Collateral under the judgment
or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (iii) may, on behalf of
the Secured Parties, file claims concerning, stipulate or consent to, any
matter concerning, and otherwise represent the interests of the Secured Parties
concerning, the Collateral.

 

7.3  Right to Appoint a Receiver.
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon the filing of a
bill in equity or other commencement of judicial proceedings to enforce the
rights of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent
shall, to the extent permitted by law, with notice to the Company but without
notice to any party claiming through the Grantors, without regard to the
solvency or insolvency at the time of any Person then liable for the payment of
any of the Obligations, without regard to the then value of the Collateral, and
without requiring any bond from any complainant in such proceedings, be
entitled as a matter of right to the appointment of a receiver or receivers of
the Collateral, or any part thereof, and of the rents, issues, tolls, profits,
royalties, revenues and other income thereof, pending such proceedings, with
such powers as the court making such appointment shall confer, and to the entry
of an order directing that the rents, issues, tolls, profits, royalties,
revenues and other income of the property constituting the whole or any part of
the Collateral be segregated, sequestered and impounded for the benefit of the
Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, and each Grantor irrevocably consents
to the appointments of such receiver or receivers and to the entry of such
order; provided that, notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver,
the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to retain possession and control of all
cash and Cash Equivalents held by or deposited with it pursuant to this Agreement.

 

22

 

7.4  Remedies Not Exclusive.  (a)  No remedy conferred upon or
reserved to the Collateral Agent herein is intended to be exclusive of any
other remedy or remedies, but every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall
be in addition to every other remedy conferred herein or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or by statute.

 

(b)  No delay or omission by the
Collateral Agent to exercise any right, remedy or power hereunder or under any
other Collateral Document shall impair any such right, remedy or power or shall
be construed to be a waiver thereof, and every right, power and remedy given by
this Agreement to the Collateral Agent may be exercised from time to time and
as often as may be deemed expedient by the Collateral Agent.

 

(c)  If the Collateral Agent shall
have proceeded to enforce any right, remedy or power under this Agreement and
the proceeding for the enforcement thereof shall have been discontinued or
abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the
Collateral Agent, then the Grantors, the Collateral Agent and the Secured
Parties shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, severally and
respectively be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder or
thereunder with respect to the Collateral and in all other respects, and
thereafter all rights, remedies and powers of the Collateral Agent shall
continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.

 

(d)  All rights of action and of asserting
claims upon or under this Agreement may be enforced by the Collateral Agent
without the possession of any Note Document or instrument evidencing any
Obligation or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative
thereto, and any suit or proceeding instituted by the Collateral Agent shall
be, subject to Section 10, brought in its name as Collateral Agent and any
recovery of judgment shall be held as part of the Collateral.

 

7.5  Waiver and Estoppel.  (a)  Each Grantor agrees, to the
extent it may lawfully do so, that it will not at any time in any manner
whatsoever claim, or take the benefit or advantage of, any appraisement,
valuation, stay, extension, moratorium, turnover or redemption law, or any law
permitting it to direct the order in which the Collateral shall be sold, now or
at any time hereafter in force, which may delay, prevent or otherwise affect
the performance or enforcement of this Agreement or any other Collateral
Document and hereby waives all benefit or advantage of all such laws and
covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power
granted to the Collateral Agent in this Agreement or in any other Collateral
Document but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though
no such law were in force.

 

(b)  Each Grantor, to the extent it
may lawfully do so, on behalf of itself and all who may claim through or under
it, including without limitation any and all subsequent creditors, vendees,
assignees and lienors, waives and releases all rights to demand or to have any
marshaling of the Collateral upon any sale, whether made under any power of
sale granted herein or pursuant to judicial proceedings or upon any foreclosure
or any enforcement of this Agreement or any other Collateral Document and
consents and agrees that all the Collateral may at any such sale be offered and
sold as an entirety.

 

(c)  Each Grantor waives, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, presentment, demand, protest and any notice
of any kind (except notices explicitly required hereunder or under any Note
Document) in connection with this Agreement and any other Collateral Document
and any action taken by the Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral.

7.6  Limitation on Collateral
Agent’s Duty in Respect of Collateral. Beyond its duties as to the custody
thereof expressly provided in Section 10.2 herein and to account to the
Secured Parties and the Grantors for moneys and other property received by it
hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty to the Grantors or to
the Secured Parties as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the
possession or control of any of its agents or nominees, or any income thereon
or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights
pertaining thereto.

have occurred and be continuing, any Secured Party (a “Receiving Party”)
shall receive any payment or distribution on account of the Obligations owed to
such Receiving Party (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of
any rights of set-off, or otherwise, and whether in cash, property or
securities) representing proceeds of any of the Collateral and which is in
excess of the payments or distributions such Receiving Party would have
received through the operation of Section 8.5 and after giving effect to
the circumstances described in Section 11.15 (such payments or
distributions, “Excess Payments”), then such Receiving Party shall hold
such Excess Payments in trust for the benefit of all Secured Parties and shall
promptly pay over such Excess Payments in the form received (duly endorsed, if
necessary, to the Collateral Agent) to the Collateral Agent, for distribution
by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 8.5.

hereunder and for administering the Collateral and (ii) all of the fees,

Collateral Agent in connection with the removal of the Collateral Agent
pursuant to Section 10.10 or (D) the failure by any Grantor to
perform or observe any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Note
Document. Such fees, costs and expenses are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any other bankruptcy law relating to creditors’ rights
generally. The obligations of the Grantors under this Section 9.2 shall
survive the termination of the other provisions of this Agreement and the other
Note Documents and the resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent
hereunder.

Taxes.  Each Grantor, jointly and
severally, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and each

which may be assessed, levied or collected by any jurisdiction in connection
with this Agreement, any other Note Document or any Collateral. The obligations

severally, agrees to pay or to reimburse the Collateral Agent for any and all

be payable or determined to be payable in respect of the execution and delivery
of this Agreement and the other Note Documents. The obligations of the Grantors
under this Section 9.4 shall survive the termination of the other
provisions of this Agreement and the other Note Documents and the resignation
or removal of the Collateral Agent hereunder.

 

9.5  Indemnification.  Each Grantor, jointly and severally, agrees
to pay, indemnify, and hold the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party (and
their respective directors, officers, agents and employees) harmless from and
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, the
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, advisors and agents) or disbursements
of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery,
enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, and each other
Note Document including, without limitation in connection with any action taken
with respect to the Collateral and any contract, agreement, interest or
obligation constituting part of the Collateral, unless arising from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnified party, including for taxes
in any jurisdiction in which the Collateral Agent is subject to tax by reason
of actions hereunder, unless such taxes are imposed on or measured by
compensation paid to the Collateral Agent under Section 9.2. In any suit,
proceeding or action brought by the Collateral Agent under or with respect to
any contract, agreement, interest or obligation constituting part of the
Collateral for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions thereof,
each Grantor, jointly and severally will save, indemnify and keep the
Collateral Agent and each Secured Party harmless from and against all expense,
loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of the obligor thereunder,
arising out of a breach by any Grantor of any obligation thereunder or arising
out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or
in favor of such obligor or its successors from any Grantor, and all such
obligations of any Grantor shall be and remain enforceable against and only
against the Grantors and shall not be enforceable against the Collateral Agent
or any Secured Party. The agreements in this Section 9.5 shall survive the
termination of the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Note
Documents and the resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent hereunder.

 

9.6  Collateral Agent’s Lien.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement or in any other Note Document, as security for the payment of
the Collateral Agent Fees (i) the Collateral Agent is hereby granted a
lien upon all Collateral and (ii) the Collateral Agent shall have the
right to use and apply any of the funds held by the Collateral Agent in the
Collateral Accounts to cover such Collateral Agent Fees.

 

SECTION 10.  THE COLLATERAL AGENT

 

10.1  Collateral Agent’s
Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc. 
(a)  Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints
the Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of
substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable
power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of
such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of
this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents, to take any and all
appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which
may be 

 

26

 

necessary or desirable to
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents,
and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby
gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor,
without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following:

 

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

 

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

 

(iii)          pay or discharge taxes and
Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any
repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement or any
Mortgage and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs
thereof;

 

(iv)          execute, in connection with
any sale provided for in Section 6.5 or 6.6, any endorsements, assignments
or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral;
and

 

(v)           (1) direct any party
liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and
all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or
as the Collateral Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and
receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other
amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any
Collateral; (3) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills,
bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors,
assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any
of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or
proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to
collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in
respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought
against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle,
compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection
therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem
appropriate; (7) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the
goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or 

 

27

 

Trademark pertains),
throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such
manner, as the Collateral Agent may in its sole discretion determine; and (8) generally,
sell, transfer, pledge and 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 do, at the
Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time
to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent deems necessary to
protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s and
the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of
this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents, all as fully and effectively
as such Grantor might do.

 

Anything in this Section 10.1(a) to
the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent agrees that it will not
exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 10.1(a) unless
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

 

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

 

(c)  The expenses of the Collateral
Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 10.1,
together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the highest rate
per annum at which interest would be payable on any category of past due
payments under the Indenture, from the date of payment by the Collateral Agent
to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such
Grantor to the Collateral Agent on demand.

 

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

 

10.2  Duty of Collateral Agent.  The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect
to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its
possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be
to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar
property for its own account. Neither the Collateral Agent, any Secured Party
nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be
liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or
for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise
dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person
or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any
part thereof. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent and the Secured
Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s and the Secured
Parties’ interests 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 or any Secured Party for any act or failure to act
hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

28

 

10.3  Filing of Financing
Statements.  Pursuant to any
applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent to file or record
financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments
with respect to the Collateral without the signature of such Grantor in such
form and in such offices as necessary to perfect the security interests of the
Collateral Agent under this Agreement and under each other Collateral Document.
Each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent to use the collateral description “all
personal property” in any such appropriate financing statements. Each Grantor
hereby ratifies and authorizes the filing by the Collateral Agent of any
financing statement with respect to the Collateral made prior to the date
hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Collateral Agent
have any obligation to monitor the perfection, continuation of perfection or
the sufficiency or validity of any security interest in or related to the
Collateral or to prepare or file any Uniform Commercial Code financing
statement or continuation statement.

 

10.4  Authority of Collateral
Agent.  Each Grantor acknowledges
that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this
Agreement and the other Collateral Documents with respect to any action taken
by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent
of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy
provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement or any other
Collateral Document shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the Secured
Parties, be governed by the Note Documents and by such other agreements with
respect thereto as may exist from time to time among the Collateral Agent and the
Secured Parties, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the
Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the
Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting,
and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any
inquiry respecting such authority.

 

10.5  Exculpatory Provisions.  (a)  The Collateral Agent shall not
be responsible in any manner whatsoever for the correctness of any recitals,
statements, representations or warranties in any Note Document, all of which
are made solely by the Grantors. The Collateral Agent makes no representations
as to, nor shall it be responsible for, the existence, genuineness, value or
condition of any of the Collateral or any part thereof, the title of the
Grantors thereto or the security afforded or intended to be afforded by this
Agreement and the other Collateral Documents, or the validity, execution
(except its execution), enforceability, legality or sufficiency of this Agreement,
the other Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement or the
Obligations or the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the
liens or security interests in any of the Collateral created or intended to be
created by this Agreement or the other Collateral Documents, or the validity or
sufficiency of the Collateral, or insuring the Collateral or the payment of
taxes, charges, assessments or liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the
maintenance of the Collateral, and the Collateral Agent shall incur no
liability or responsibility in respect of any such matters. The Collateral
Agent shall have no responsibility for preparing, recording, filing,
re-recording or refiling any financing statement, continuation statement or
other instrument in any public office at any time.

 

(b)  The Collateral Agent shall not
be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance by the Grantors of
any of the covenants or agreements contained herein, in the other Collateral
Documents or in any Secured Debt Document. Whenever it is necessary, or in the
opinion of the Collateral Agent advisable, for the Collateral Agent to
ascertain the amount of Obligations then held by Secured Parties, the
Collateral Agent may rely on a certificate of the Trustee.

 

(c)  The Collateral Agent shall be
under no obligation or duty to take any action under this Agreement or any
other Note Document or otherwise if taking such action (i) would subject
the 

 

29

 

Collateral Agent to a tax in any jurisdiction where it is not then
subject to a tax or (ii) would require the Collateral Agent to qualify to
do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, unless the
Collateral Agent shall receive security or indemnity satisfactory to it against
such tax (or equivalent liability), or any liability resulting from such
qualification, in each case as results from the taking of such action under
this Agreement or any other Note Document.

 

(d)  The Collateral Agent shall
have the same rights with respect to any Obligation held by it as any other
Secured Party and may exercise such rights as though it were not the Collateral
Agent hereunder, and it and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money
to, provide services to and generally engage in any kind of banking or trust
business with, any of the Grantors as if it were not the Collateral Agent.

 

(e)  The Collateral Agent shall not
be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in accordance with this
Agreement or any other Collateral Document except for its own gross negligence
or willful misconduct.

 

(f)  The permissive right of the
Collateral Agent to take any action under this Agreement or any other
Collateral Document shall not be construed as a duty to so act.

 

10.6  Delegation of Duties.  The Collateral Agent may execute any of the
trusts or powers hereof and perform any duty hereunder or under any other Note
Document either directly or by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact. The
Collateral Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters
pertaining to such trusts, powers and duties. The Collateral Agent shall not be
responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact
selected by it without gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

10.7  Reliance by Collateral
Agent.  (a)  Whenever in
the administration of this Agreement, or any other Collateral Document the
Collateral Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that a factual matter be
proved or established in connection with the Collateral Agent taking, suffering
or omitting any action hereunder or thereunder, such matter (unless other
evidence in respect thereof is herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to
be conclusively proved or established by a certificate of a Responsible Officer
delivered to the Collateral Agent, and such certificate shall be full warrant
to the Collateral Agent for any action taken, suffered or omitted in reliance
thereon.

 

(b)  The Collateral Agent may, at
the expense of the Grantors, consult with counsel, and any Opinion of Counsel
shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any
action taken or suffered by it hereunder in accordance therewith. The
Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions
concerning the administration of this Agreement or any other Note Document from
any court of competent jurisdiction. Any Opinion of Counsel may be based,
insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate of a Responsible
Officer or representations made by a Responsible Officer in a writing delivered
to the Collateral Agent.

 

(c)  The Collateral Agent may
conclusively rely upon, and shall be fully protected in acting upon or failing
to act as a consequence of, any resolution, statement, certificate, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond or other paper or
document which it believes in good faith is genuine and has been signed or
presented by the proper party or parties or, in the case of cables, telecopies
and telexes, to have been sent by the proper party or parties. In the absence
of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Collateral Agent may
conclusively rely, as to the 

 

30

 

truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
therein, upon any such certificates, opinions or other information and need not
investigate any fact or matter stated therein.

 

(d)  The Collateral Agent shall not
be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in the
Collateral Agent by this Agreement or by any other Note Document, unless the
Collateral Agent shall have been provided adequate security and indemnity
against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by the
Collateral Agent, its agents and its counsel in the exercise of any such right
or power or in compliance with such request or direction, including such
reasonable advances as may be requested by the Collateral Agent.

 

(e)  Upon any application or demand
by any of the Grantors to the Collateral Agent to take or permit any action
under any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Note Document, the
Company shall furnish to the Collateral Agent a certificate of a Responsible
Officer stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this
Agreement or in any Note Document relating to the proposed action have been
complied with, and in the case of any such application or demand as to which
the furnishing of any document is specifically required by any provision of
this Agreement or any Note Document relating to such particular application or
demand, such additional document shall also be furnished.

 

10.8  Limitations on Duties of
Collateral Agent.  (a)  The
Collateral Agent shall be obligated to perform such duties and only such duties
as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, or any other Note Document,
and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or
any other Note Document against the Collateral Agent. If and so long as an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent may
exercise the rights and powers vested in the Collateral Agent by this Agreement
or any other Note Document. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable with
respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken.

 

(b)  Except as herein otherwise
expressly provided, the Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to
take any action that is discretionary under the provisions of this Agreement or
of any other Note Document, except upon the written request of the Trustee or
the other Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

 

(c)  No provision of this
Agreement, or any other Note Document shall be deemed to impose any duty or
obligation on the Collateral Agent to perform any act or acts or exercise any
right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it, in any
jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or in which the Collateral Agent
shall be unqualified or incompetent, to perform any such act or acts or to
exercise any such right, power, duty or obligation or if such performance or
exercise would constitute doing business by the Collateral Agent in such
jurisdiction or impose a tax on the Collateral Agent by reason thereof or to
risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the
performance of its duties hereunder.

 

10.9  Moneys to be Held in Trust.  All moneys received by the Collateral Agent
under or pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, or any other Note
Document (except Collateral Agent Fees) shall be held in trust for the purposes
for which they were paid or are held. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable
for interest on any money or assets received by it except as the Collateral
Agent may agree in writing. Assets held in trust by the Collateral Agent need
not be segregated from other assets except to the extent required by law.

 

31

 

10.10  Resignation and Removal
of the Collateral Agent.  (a)  The
Collateral Agent may at any time, by giving written notice to the Company,
resign and be discharged of the responsibilities hereby created, such
resignation to become effective upon (i) the appointment of a successor
Collateral Agent and (ii) the acceptance of such appointment by such
successor Collateral Agent. If no successor Collateral Agent shall be appointed
and shall have accepted such appointment within 60 days after the Collateral Agent
gives the aforesaid notice of resignation, the Collateral Agent, the Company or
any Secured Party may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction at the
expense of the Grantors to appoint a successor Collateral Agent to act until
such time, if any, as a successor Collateral Agent shall have been appointed as
provided in this Section 10.10. Any successor so appointed by such court
shall immediately and without further act be superseded by any successor
Collateral Agent appointed by the Trustee or its successor as provided in Section 10.10(b).
The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to the Collateral Agent Fees to the
extent incurred or arising, or relating to events occurring, before such
resignation or removal or in connection with actions taken in accordance with Section 10.10(b).

 

(b)  If at any time the Collateral
Agent shall resign or be removed or otherwise become incapable of acting, or if
at any time a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Collateral Agent for any
other cause, a successor Collateral Agent may be appointed by the Company,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The powers, duties, authority
and title of the predecessor Collateral Agent shall be terminated and canceled
without procuring the resignation of such predecessor and without any other
formality (except as may be required by applicable law) than appointment and
designation of a successor in writing duly acknowledged and delivered to the
predecessor and the Company. Such appointment and designation shall be full evidence
of the right and authority to make the same and of all the facts therein
recited, and this Agreement shall vest in such successor, without any further
act, deed or conveyance, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts,
duties, authority and title of its predecessor; but such predecessor shall,
nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or the successor, execute
and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all the estates,
properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties, authority and title of such
predecessor hereunder and shall deliver all Collateral held by it or its agents
to such successor. Should any deed, conveyance or other instrument in writing
from any Grantor be required by any successor Collateral Agent for more fully
and certainly vesting in such successor the estates, properties, rights,
powers, trusts, duties, authority and title vested or intended to be vested in
the predecessor Collateral Agent, any and all such deeds, conveyances and other
instruments in writing shall, on request of such successor, be executed,
acknowledged and delivered by such Grantor. If such Grantor shall not have
executed and delivered any such deed, conveyance or other instrument within 10
days after it received a written request from the successor Collateral Agent to
do so, or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
predecessor Collateral Agent may execute the same on behalf of such Grantor.
Such Grantor hereby appoints any predecessor Collateral Agent as its agent and
attorney to act for it as provided in the next preceding sentence.

 

10.11  Status of Successor
Collateral Agent.  Every successor
Collateral Agent appointed pursuant to Section 10.10(b) shall be a
bank or trust company in good standing and having power to act as Collateral
Agent hereunder, incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or
any State thereof or the District of Columbia and having its principal
corporate trust office within the 48 contiguous States and shall also have
capital, surplus and undivided profits of not less than $100,000,000, if there
be such an institution with such capital, surplus and undivided profits
willing, qualified and able to accept the trust hereunder upon reasonable or
customary terms.

 

32

 

10.12  Merger of the Collateral
Agent.  Any corporation into which
the Collateral Agent may be merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or
any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Collateral
Agent shall be a party, shall be Collateral Agent under this Agreement without
the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the
parties hereto.

 

10.13  Co-Collateral Agent;
Separate Collateral Agent.  (a)  If
at any time or times it shall be necessary or prudent in order to conform to
any law of any jurisdiction in which any of the Collateral shall be located, or
to avoid any violation of law or imposition on the Collateral Agent of taxes by
such jurisdiction not otherwise imposed on the Collateral Agent, or the
Collateral Agent shall be advised by Opinion of Counsel that it is necessary or
prudent in the interest of the Secured Parties or the Collateral Agent shall
deem it desirable for its own protection in the performance of its duties
hereunder, the Collateral Agent and each of the Grantors shall execute and
deliver all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to constitute
another bank or trust company, or one or more persons approved by the
Collateral Agent and the Grantors, either to act as Collateral Agent or
co-Collateral Agents of all or any of the Collateral under this Agreement,
jointly with the Collateral Agent originally named herein or therein or any
successor Collateral Agent, or to act as separate Collateral Agent or
Collateral Agents of any of the Collateral. If any of the Grantors shall not
have joined in the execution of such instruments and agreements within 10 days
after it receives a written request from the Collateral Agent to do so, or if
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent may
act under the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.13(a) without
the concurrence of such Grantors and execute and deliver such instruments and
agreements on behalf of such Grantors. Each of the Grantors hereby appoints the
Collateral Agent as its agent and attorney to act for it under the foregoing
provisions of this Section 10.13(a) in either of such contingencies.

 

(b)  Every separate Collateral
Agent and every co-Collateral Agent, other than any successor Collateral Agent
appointed pursuant to Section 10.10(b), shall, to the extent permitted by
law, be appointed and act and be such, subject to the following provisions and
conditions:

 

(i)            all rights, powers, duties
and obligations conferred upon the Collateral Agent in respect of the custody,
control and management of moneys, papers or securities shall be exercised
solely by the Collateral Agent or any agent appointed by the Collateral Agent;

 

(ii)           all rights, powers, duties
and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Collateral Agent hereunder shall
be conferred or imposed and exercised or performed by the Collateral Agent and
such separate Collateral Agent or separate Collateral Agents or co-Collateral
Agent or co-Collateral Agents, jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument
appointing such separate Collateral Agent or separate Collateral Agents or
co-Collateral Agent or co-Collateral Agents, except to the extent that under
any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be
performed the Collateral Agent shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform
such act or acts, or unless the performance of such act or acts would result in
the imposition of any tax on the Collateral Agent which would not be imposed
absent such joint act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
obligations shall be exercised and performed by such separate Collateral Agent
or separate Collateral Agents or co-Collateral Agent or co-Collateral Agents;

 

33

 

(iii)          no power given hereby to, or
which it is provided herein or therein may be exercised by, any such
co-Collateral Agent or co-Collateral Agents or separate Collateral Agent or
separate Collateral Agents shall be exercised hereunder or thereunder by such
co-Collateral Agent or co-Collateral Agents or separate Collateral Agent or
separate Collateral Agents except jointly with, or with the consent in writing
of, the Collateral Agent, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding;

 

(iv)          no Collateral Agent
hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any
other Collateral Agent hereunder; and

 

(v)           the Company and the
Collateral Agent, at any time by an instrument in writing executed by them jointly,
may accept the resignation of or remove (for any reason or no reason at all)
any such separate Collateral Agent or co-Collateral Agent and, in that case by
an instrument in writing executed by them jointly, may appoint a successor to
such separate Collateral Agent or co-Collateral Agent, as the case may be,
anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding. If the Company shall
not have joined in the execution of any such instrument within 10 days after it
receives a written request from the Collateral Agent to do so, or if an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall have the
power to accept the resignation of or remove any such separate Collateral Agent
or co-Collateral Agent and to appoint a successor without the concurrence of
the Company, the Company hereby appointing the Collateral Agent its agent and
attorney to act for it in such connection in such contingency. If the
Collateral Agent shall have appointed a separate Collateral Agent or separate
Collateral Agents or co-Collateral Agent or co-Collateral Agents as above
provided, the Collateral Agent may at any time, by an instrument in writing,
accept the resignation of or remove any such separate Collateral Agent or
co-Collateral Agent and the successor to any such separate Collateral Agent or
co-Collateral Agent shall be appointed by the Company and the Collateral Agent,
or by the Collateral Agent alone pursuant to this Section 10.13(b).

 

10.14  Treatment of Payee or
Indorsee by Collateral Agent;  Representatives
of Secured Parties.  (a)  The
Collateral Agent may treat the registered holder or, if none, the payee or
indorsee of any promissory note or debenture evidencing an Obligation as the
absolute owner thereof for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice
to the contrary, whether such promissory note or debenture shall be past due or
not.

 

(b)  Any Person that shall be
designated as the duly authorized representative of one or more Secured Parties
to act as such in connection with any matters pertaining to this Agreement, any
other Note Document or the Collateral shall present to the Collateral Agent
such documents, including, without limitation, Opinions of Counsel, as the
Collateral Agent may reasonably require, in order to demonstrate to the
Collateral Agent the authority of such Person to act as the representative of
such Secured Parties.

 

SECTION 11.  MISCELLANEOUS

 

11.1  Notices.  Unless otherwise specified herein, all
notices, requests, demands or other communications given to any of the Grantors
or the Collateral Agent shall be given in writing or by 

 

34

 

facsimile transmission and
shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or when duly
deposited in the mails, registered or certified mail postage prepaid, or when
transmitted by facsimile transmission, addressed to such party at its address
specified on Schedule 1 hereof, in the case of the Grantors, or on the
signature pages thereof, in the case of the Collateral Agent, or any other
address which such party shall have specified as its address for the purpose of
communications hereunder, by notice given in accordance with this Section 11.1
to the party sending such communication; provided that any notice,
request or demand to the Collateral Agent shall not be effective until received
by the Collateral Agent in writing or by facsimile transmission in the
corporate trust administration at the office designated by it pursuant to this Section 11.1.

 

11.2  Amendments in Writing.  (a)  The Collateral Agent and the
Grantors may, from time to time, enter into written agreements supplemental
hereto for the purpose of amending, modifying or adding to, or waiving any
provisions of, this Agreement or changing in any manner the rights of the
Collateral Agent, the Secured Parties or the Grantors hereunder in accordance
with and subject to the terms set forth in Article IX of the Indenture.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, such supplemental agreements shall not amend,
modify or waive any provision of Section 9 or 10 or alter the duties,
rights or obligations of the Collateral Agent hereunder without the written
consent of the Collateral Agent.

 

(b)  Without the consent of any
Secured Party, the Collateral Agent and any of the Grantors, at any time and
from time to time, may in accordance with Section 9.1 of the Indenture
enter into one or more agreements supplemental hereto, in form satisfactory to
the Collateral Agent, (i) to add to the covenants of such Grantor for the
benefit of the Secured Parties or to surrender any right or power herein
conferred upon such Grantor; (ii) to mortgage or pledge to the Collateral
Agent, or grant a security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent in, any
types or items of property or assets that constitute types or items of property
or assets included in the definition of Collateral as additional security for
the Obligations; (iii) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
provision herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision
herein or therein, or to make any other provision with respect to matters or
questions arising hereunder which shall not be inconsistent with any provision
hereof; provided that any such action contemplated by this clause (iii) shall
not adversely affect the interests of the Secured Parties; or (iv) to the
extent that the pledge of any Capital Stock results in the Company being
required to file separate financial statements of any Subsidiary of the Company
with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 3-10 or Rule 3-16
of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act, to release such Capital Stock from
the Collateral but only to the extent necessary for the Company not to be
subject to such filing requirement.

 

(c)  The Collateral Agent may, but
shall not be obligated to, enter into any supplemental agreement pursuant to
this Section 11.2 that would adversely affect its interests hereunder.

 

11.3  No Waiver by Course of
Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. 
Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall by any act
(except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 11.2), delay,
indulgence, and omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or
remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any default or event of default under
the Note Documents No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the
part of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, any right, power or
privilege hereunder or under any other Note Document shall operate as a waiver
thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege
hereunder or under any other Note Document shall preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other 

 

35

 

right, power or privilege. A
waiver by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of any right or remedy
hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or
remedy that the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party would otherwise have on
any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative,
may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other
rights or remedies provided by law.

 

11.4  Enforcement Expenses.  (a)  Each Grantor agrees to pay or
reimburse each Secured Party and the Collateral Agent for all its costs and
expenses incurred in enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement,

is a party, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of
counsel to each Secured Party and of counsel to the Collateral Agent.

 

(b)  The agreements in this Section 11.4
shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under
the Note Documents.

 

11.5  Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the
successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the
Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided
that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the
Collateral Agent.

 

11.6  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed by one or more
of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts
(including by telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be
deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

 

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

 

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

 

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

(ii)           consents that any such

inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

 

(iii)          agrees that service of
process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy

or at such other address of which the Collateral Agent shall have been notified
pursuant thereto;

 

(iv)          agrees that nothing herein

extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any

Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that

hereby or by the Note Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the
transactions contemplated hereby among the Secured Parties or among the
Grantors and the Secured Parties.

 

11.13  Additional
Grantors.  Each Subsidiary of the

execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of an Assumption Agreement in the
form of Annex 1 hereto.

 

37

 

11.14  Releases; Termination of
Security Interests.  (a)  The
Liens on the Collateral shall be released at the times, and to the extent,
provided under Section 11.6 of the Indenture; provided, that the

termination.

to be paid to the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party pursuant to the
terms hereof, for application in accordance with the priorities set forth
herein, or the proceeds of Collateral are required to be returned by any
Secured Party to such Grantor, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other
Person under any Requirement of Law of any Governmental Authority, then to the
extent of such payment or repayment, any Lien or other Collateral securing such
Obligation shall be and remain in full force and effect as fully as if such
payment had never been made or, if prior thereto the Lien granted hereby or by
any other Collateral Document or other Collateral securing such Obligation
hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of such cancellation
or surrender, such Lien or other Collateral shall be reinstated in full force
and effect, and such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish,
release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect any Lien or other Collateral
securing the Obligations of any Grantor in respect of the amount of such
payment.

 

11.16  WAIVER OF
JURY TRIAL.  EACH
GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
