ARTICLE V     
 
DEFAULT
5.1.    Default.  The occurrence of any “Default” under the Credit Agreement shall constitute a Default hereunder.
5.2.    Acceleration and Remedies.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, the Administrative Agent may, with the concurrence or at the direction of the Required Lenders (or, if required pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, with the concurrence or at the direction of each of the Lenders), exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies:
5.2.1      Those rights and remedies provided in this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document; provided that this Section 5.2.1 shall not be understood to limit any rights or remedies available to the Administrative Agent and the Holders of Secured Obligations prior to a Default.
5.2.2      Those rights and remedies available to a secured party under the New York UCC or under any other applicable law (including, without limitation, any law governing 

19

the exercise of a bank’s right of setoff or bankers’ lien) when a debtor is in default under a security agreement.
5.2.3      Give notice of sole control or any other instruction under any deposit account control agreement or other control agreement with any securities intermediary (if any) and take any action therein with respect to such Collateral.
5.2.4      Without notice (except as specifically provided in Section 8.1 hereof 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 any Grantor’s premises of elsewhere), for cash, on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable.
5.2.5      Concurrently with written notice to the applicable Grantor, transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Equity, to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Equity 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 Equity as though the Administrative Agent was the outright owner thereof.
5.2.6      The Administrative Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity redemption, which equity redemption the Grantor hereby expressly releases.
5.2.7      Until the Administrative Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, the Administrative 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 its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative 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 Administrative Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and other Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment.
5.2.8      Each Grantor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Equity and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof in accordance with Section 5.2.1 above.  Each Grantor also acknowledges that any private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to 

20

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 Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Equity for the period of time necessary to permit any Grantor or the issuer of the Pledged Equity to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the applicable Grantor and the issuer would agree to do so.
The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Holders of Secured Obligations, may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral, and such compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Holders of Secured Obligations shall be required to (i) make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, any Grantor, 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 of the Collateral.

5.3.1      Assembly of Collateral.  Assemble and make available to the Administrative Agent its respective Collateral and all records relating thereto at any place or places specified by the Administrative Agent.
5.3.2      Administrative Agent Access.  Permit the Administrative Agent, by the Administrative Agent’s representatives and agents, to enter, occupy and use any premises where all or any part of its respective Collateral, or the books and records relating thereto, or both, are located, to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral and 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 the Grantor for such use and occupancy.
5.3.3      Take, or cause an issuer of Pledged Equity to take, any and all actions necessary to register or qualify the Pledged Equity to enable the Administrative Agent to consummate a public sale or other disposition of the Pledged Equity.
5.4.    License.  The Administrative Agent is hereby granted a license or other right to use, exercisable only following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, without charge, each Grantor’s labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, customer lists and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral, and, following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, such Grantor’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the Administrative Agent’s benefit.  In addition, each Grantor hereby irrevocably agrees that the Administrative Agent may, 

21

following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, sell any of such Grantor’s Inventory directly to any person, including without limitation persons who have previously purchased such Grantor’s Inventory from such Grantor and in connection with any such sale or other enforcement of the Administrative Agent’s rights under this Security Agreement, may sell Inventory which bears any trademark owned by or licensed to such Grantor and any Inventory that is covered by any copyright owned by or licensed to such Grantor and the Administrative Agent may (but shall have no obligation to) finish any work in process and affix any trademark owned by or licensed to such Grantor and sell such Inventory as provided herein.
ARTICLE VI     
 
WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES
No delay or omission of the Administrative Agent or any Holder of Secured Obligations 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 Administrative Agent with the concurrence or at the direction of (a) the Required Lenders (or, if required pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, with the concurrence or at the direction of Required Revolving Lenders or all of the Lenders) and (b) each Grantor, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth; provided that the addition of any Subsidiary of the Company as a Grantor hereunder by execution of a Security Agreement Supplement in the form of Annex I (with such modifications as shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent) shall not require receipt of any consent from or execution of any documentation by any other Grantor party hereto.  All rights and remedies contained in this Security Agreement or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent and the Holders of Secured Obligations until the Secured Obligations have been paid in full.
ARTICLE VII

7.2.    Collection of Receivables.  The Administrative Agent may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, by giving each Grantor written notice, elect to require that the Receivables that constitute Collateral be paid directly to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations.  In such event, each Grantor shall, and shall 

22

permit the Administrative Agent to, promptly notify the account debtors or obligors under the Receivables owned by such Grantor of the Administrative Agent’s interest therein and direct such account debtors or obligors to make payment of all amounts then or thereafter due under such Receivables directly to the Administrative Agent.  Upon receipt of any such notice from the Administrative Agent, each Grantor shall thereafter hold in trust for the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Holders of Secured Obligations, all amounts and proceeds received by it with respect to the Receivables and Other Collateral and immediately and at all times thereafter deliver to the Administrative Agent all such amounts and proceeds in the same form as so received, whether by cash, check, draft or otherwise, with any necessary endorsements.  The Administrative Agent shall hold and apply funds so received as provided by the terms of Sections 7.3 and 7.4 hereof.
7.3.    Special Collateral Account.  The Administrative Agent may require, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, all cash proceeds of such Grantor’s Collateral to be deposited in a special non-interest bearing cash collateral account with the Administrative Agent and held there as security for the Secured Obligations.  No Grantor shall have any control whatsoever over said cash collateral account.  If no Default has occurred or is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall from time to time deposit the collected balances in said cash collateral account into the applicable Grantor’s general operating account with the Administrative Agent.  If any Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may (and shall, at the direction of the Required Lenders), from time to time, apply the collected balances in said cash collateral account to the payment of the Secured Obligations whether or not the Secured Obligations shall then be due.
7.4.    Application of Proceeds.  The proceeds of the Collateral shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to payment of the Secured Obligations in accordance with Section 12.4 of the Credit Agreement.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

23

8.1.    Notice of Disposition of Collateral; Condition of Collateral.  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 Company, as designee for the other Grantors, addressed as set forth in Article IX, at least ten (10) 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.  The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.  To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Administrative Agent or any other Holder of Secured Obligations 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 Administrative Agent or such other Holder of Secured Obligations 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 Administrative Agent or any other Holder of Secured Obligations, 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.
8.2.    Limitation on Administrative Agent’s and other Holders of Secured Obligations' Duty with Respect to the Collateral.  The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Administrative Agent and each other Holder of Secured Obligations shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Holder of Secured Obligations 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 Administrative Agent or such other Holder of Secured Obligations, 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 Administrative Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for the Administrative Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the Administrative 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 such Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring 

24

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 Administrative Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Administrative Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Administrative Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral.  Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 8.2 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Administrative Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 8.2.  Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8.2 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Administrative Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 8.2.
8.3.    Compromises and Collection of Collateral.  Each Grantor and the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent may at any time and from time to time, if a Default has occurred and is continuing, compromise with the obligor on any Receivable, accept in full payment of any Receivable such amount as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any Receivable, and any such action by the Administrative Agent shall be commercially reasonable so long as the Administrative Agent acts in good faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any such action.
8.4.    Administrative Agent Performance of Grantors’ Obligations.  Without having any obligation to do so, the Administrative Agent may perform or pay any obligation which any Grantor has agreed to perform or pay in this Security Agreement and such Grantor shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any reasonable amounts paid by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.3.  Each Grantor’s obligation to reimburse the Administrative Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be a Secured Obligation payable within ten (10) days after demand.
8.5.    Authorization for Administrative Agent to Take Certain Action; Proxy.
8.5.1      Each Grantor irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney in fact (i) to execute on behalf of such Grantor as debtor 

25

and to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, (ii) to endorse and collect any cash proceeds of the Collateral, (iii) 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 does not add new collateral or add a debtor) in such offices as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion deems reasonably necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, (iv) to contact and enter into one or more agreements with the issuers of uncertificated securities which are Collateral owned by such Grantor and which are Securities or, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, with financial intermediaries holding other Investment Property as may be necessary or advisable to give the Administrative Agent Control over such Securities or other Investment Property, (v) to enforce payment of the Instruments, Accounts and Receivables in the name of the Administrative Agent or such Grantor, (vi) to apply the proceeds of any Collateral received by the Administrative Agent to the Secured Obligations as provided in Article VII and (vii) to discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees or Liens on the Collateral (except for such Liens as are specifically permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document), and each Grantor agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent on demand for any reasonable payment made or any reasonable expense incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith; provided that this authorization shall not relieve any Grantor of any of its obligations under this Security Agreement or under the Credit Agreement.  The Administrative Agent agrees not to exercise the powers of attorney granted pursuant to the foregoing clauses (iv) and (v) unless a Default has occurred and is continuing.
8.5.2      EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND APPOINTS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AS THE PROXY AND ATTORNEY IN FACT OF SUCH GRANTOR WITH RESPECT TO THE COLLATERAL OWNED BY SUCH GRANTOR, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO VOTE ANY INSTRUMENTS, SECURITIES OR OTHER INVESTMENT PROPERTY CONSTITUTING COLLATERAL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS HEREOF, WITH FULL POWER OF SUBSTITUTION TO DO SO. IN ADDITION TO THE RIGHT TO VOTE ANY SUCH COLLATERAL AFTER A DEFAULT, THE APPOINTMENT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE 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 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 ACTION (INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER OF ANY SUCH COLLATERAL ON THE RECORD BOOKS OF THE ISSUER THEREOF) BY ANY PERSON (INCLUDING THE ISSUER OF SUCH COLLATERAL OR ANY OFFICER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THEREOF), UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF A DEFAULT.  THE APPOINTMENT OF 

26

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT IN THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE UNTIL THE DATE ON WHICH THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 8.12.  THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AGREES NOT TO EXERCISE THE POWER OF ATTORNEY GRANTED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 8.5.2 UNLESS A DEFAULT HAS OCCURRED AND IS CONTINUING.
8.6.    Specific Performance of Certain Covenants.  Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections 4.1.5, 4.1.6, 4.4 or 5.3 or in Article VII hereof will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and the Holders of Secured Obligations, that the Administrative Agent and Holders of Secured Obligations have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breaches and therefore agrees, without limiting the right of the Administrative Agent or the Holders of Secured Obligations to seek and obtain specific performance of other obligations of the Grantors contained in this Security Agreement, that the covenants of the Grantors contained in the Sections referred to in this Section 8.6 shall be specifically enforceable against the Grantors.
8.7.    Use and Possession of Certain Premises.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to occupy and use any premises owned or leased by any Grantor where any of such Grantor’s Collateral or any records relating to such Grantor’s Collateral are located until the Secured Obligations are paid or such Grantor’s Collateral is removed therefrom, whichever first occurs, without any obligation to pay any Grantor for such use and occupancy.
8.8.    Dispositions Not Authorized.  No Grantor is authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of its respective Collateral except as set forth in Section 4.1.5 hereof and notwithstanding any course of dealing between such Grantor and the Administrative Agent or other conduct of the Administrative Agent, no authorization to sell or otherwise dispose of such Grantor’s Collateral (except as set forth in Section 4.1.5 hereof) shall be binding upon the Administrative Agent or the Holders of Secured Obligations unless such authorization is in writing signed by the Administrative Agent with the consent or at the direction of the Required Lenders (or, if required pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, with the consent or at the direction of each of the Lenders).
8.9.    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 any 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 

27

shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
8.10.    Benefit of Agreement.  The terms and provisions of this Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Grantors, the Administrative Agent and the Holders of Secured Obligations and their respective successors and 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 Administrative 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 Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Holders of Secured Obligations hereunder.
8.11.    Survival of Representations.  All representations and warranties of the Grantors contained in this Security Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement.

Any and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Grantors in the performance of actions required pursuant to the terms hereof shall be borne solely by the Grantors.
8.13.    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.

8.15.    Entire Agreement.  This Security Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the Grantors and the Administrative Agent relating to the Collateral and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings among the Grantors and the Administrative Agent relating to the Collateral.
