that the Lender shall not be required to make any presentment, demand or protest, or give any notice and need not take any action to preserve any rights against any prior party or any other person in
connection with the Secured Obligations or with respect to the Collateral. 

        7.    Collection of Collateral Payments.    

        (a)  Company
shall, at its sole cost and expense, use commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain payment, when due and payable, of all sums due or to become due with

the request of the Lender made at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Company will, forthwith upon receipt,
transmit and deliver to the Lender, in the form received, all cash, checks, drafts and other instruments for the payment of money (properly endorsed where required so that such items may be collected
by the Lender) which may be received by Company at any time as payment on account of any Collateral Payment and if such request shall be made, until delivery to the Lender, such items will be held in
trust for the Lender and will not be commingled by Company with any of its other funds or property. Thereafter, the Lender is hereby authorized and empowered to endorse the name of Company on any
check, draft or other instrument for the payment of money received by the Lender on account of any Collateral Payment if the Lender believes such endorsement is necessary or desirable for purposes of
collection. 

        (c)  Company
will indemnify and save harmless the Lender from and against all reasonable liabilities and expenses on account of any adverse claim asserted against the Lender
relating to any moneys received by the Lender on account of any Collateral Payment and such obligation of Company shall continue in effect after and notwithstanding the discharge of the Secured

        (b)  Company
shall notify the Lender immediately if it knows, or has reason to know, that any application or registration relating to any material item of the Intellectual
Property Collateral may become abandoned or dedicated to the public or placed in the public domain or invalid or unenforceable, or of any adverse determination or development (including the

request of the Lender, executes and delivers any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Lender may reasonably request to evidence the Lender's security interest in such
Intellectual Property Collateral and the goodwill and general intangibles of Company relating thereto or represented thereby. 

        (d)  Company
shall, contemporaneously herewith, execute and deliver to the Lender such supplemental agreements for filing in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and
United States Copyright Office as the Lender may require and shall execute and deliver to the Lender any other document required to acknowledge or register or perfect the Lender's interest in any part
of the Intellectual Property Collateral. 

        9.    Administration of the Pledged Shares.    In addition to any provisions of this Security Agreement which govern
the administration of the Collateral generally, the following provisions shall govern the administration of the Pledged Shares: 

        (a)  Until
there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default, the Company shall be entitled to vote or consent with respect to the Pledged Shares in any manner
not inconsistent with this Security Agreement or any document or instrument delivered or to be delivered pursuant to or in connection with any thereof and to receive all dividends paid with respect to
the Pledged Shares. If there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default and the Lender shall have notified the Company that the Lender desires to exercise its proxy rights with respect
to all or a portion of the Pledged Shares, the Company hereby grants to the Lender an irrevocable proxy for the Pledged Shares pursuant to which proxy the Lender shall be entitled to vote or consent,
in its discretion, and in such event the Company agrees to deliver to the Lender such further evidence of the grant of such proxy as the Lender may request. 

        (b)  In
the event that at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the Company, as record and beneficial owner of the Pledged Shares, shall receive or shall
become entitled to receive, any dividend or any other distribution whether in securities or property by way of stock split, spin-off, split-up or reclassification, combination
of shares or the like, or in case of any reorganization, consolidation or merger, and the Company, as record and beneficial owner of the Pledged Shares, shall thereby be entitled to receive securities
or property in respect of such Pledged Shares, then and in each such case, the Company shall deliver to the Lender and the Lender shall be entitled to receive and retain all such securities or
property as part of the Pledged Shares as security for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations; provided, however, that until there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of
Default, the Company shall be entitled to retain any cash dividends paid on account of the Pledged Shares. 

        (c)  Upon
the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Lender is authorized to sell the Pledged Shares and, at any such sale of any of the Pledged
Shares, if it deems it advisable to do so, to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons or entities who (1) will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own
account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale of any of the Pledged Shares; and (2) satisfy the offeree and purchaser requirements for a valid private placement
transaction under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and under Securities and Exchange Commission Release Nos. 33-6383; 34-18524;
35-22407; 39-700; IC-12264; AS-306, or under any similar statute, rule or regulation. the Company agrees that disposition of the Pledged Shares pursuant
to any private sale made as provided above may be at prices and on other terms less favorable than if the Pledged Shares were sold at public sale, and that the Lender has no obligation to delay the
sale of any Pledged Shares for public sale under the Act. The Company agrees that a private sale or sales made under the foregoing circumstances shall be deemed to 

7

 

have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. In the event that the Lender elects to sell the Pledged Shares, or part of them, and there is a public market for the Pledged Shares, in a public
sale the Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to register and qualify the Pledged Shares, or applicable part thereof, under the Act and all state Blue Sky or securities laws
required by the proposed terms of sale and all expenses thereof shall be payable by the Company, including, but not limited to, all costs of (i) registration or qualification of, under the Act
or any state Blue Sky or securities laws or pursuant to any applicable rule or regulation issued pursuant thereto, any Pledged Shares, and (ii) sale of such Pledged Shares, including, but not
limited to, brokers' or underwriters' commissions, fees or discounts, accounting and legal fees, costs of printing and other expenses of transfer and sale. 

        (d)  If
any consent, approval or authorization of any state, municipal or other governmental department, agency or authority should be necessary to effectuate any sale or
other disposition of the Pledged Shares, or any part thereof, the Company will execute such applications and other instruments as may be required in connection with securing any such consent, approval
or authorization, and will otherwise use its commercially reasonable best efforts to secure the same. 

        (e)  Nothing
contained in this Paragraph 9 shall be deemed to limit the other obligations of the Company contained in the Credit Agreement or this Security Agreement
and the rights of the Lender hereunder or thereunder. 

        10.    Remedies.    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Lender may, without
notice to or demand on Company and in addition to all rights and remedies available to the Lender with respect to the Secured Obligations, at law, in equity or otherwise, do any one or more of the
following:

or otherwise enforce the Lender's security interest in any manner permitted by law or provided for in this Security Agreement. 

        (b)  Sell,
lease or otherwise dispose of any Collateral at one or more public or private sales at the Lender's place of business or any other place or places, including,
without limitation, any broker's board or securities exchange, whether or not such Collateral is present at the place of sale, for cash or credit or future delivery, on such terms and in such manner
as the Lender may determine. 

        (c)  Recover
from Company all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees (including the allocated cost of internal counsel), incurred or
paid by the Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy provided by this Subsidiary Security Agreement. 

        (d)  Require
Company to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Lender at a place to be designated by the Lender. 

        (e)  Enter
onto property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process. 

        (f)    Prior
to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition it or otherwise prepare it for disposition in any manner and to the extent the Lender
deems appropriate and in connection with such preparation and disposition, without charge, use any trademark, tradename, copyright, patent or technical process used by Company. 

Company
shall be given five (5) Business Days' prior notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of Collateral is
to be made, which notice Company hereby agrees shall be deemed reasonable notice thereof. Upon any sale or other disposition pursuant to this Security Agreement, the Lender shall have the right to
deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral or portion thereof so sold or disposed of. Each purchaser at any such sale or other disposition (including the Lender) shall hold
the Collateral free 

8

 

from any claim or right of whatever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of Company and Company specifically waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay or
appraisal which it has or may have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter adopted. 

        11.    Chief Place of Business; Collateral Location; Records Location.    Company represents that the state in which
it was organized and its chief place of business are as set forth on Schedule 4 attached hereto; that the only trade name(s) or style(s) used by
Company are set forth on said Schedule 4; and that, except as otherwise disclosed to the Lender in writing prior to the date hereof, the
Collateral and Company's records concerning the Collateral are located at its chief place of business. 

        12.    Waiver of Hearing.    Company expressly waives to the extent permitted under applicable law any constitutional
or other right to a judicial hearing prior to the time the Lender takes possession or disposes of the Collateral upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. 

        13.    Cumulative Rights.    The rights, powers and remedies of the Lender under this Security Agreement shall be in
addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to the Lender by virtue of any statute or rule of law, the Credit Agreement or any other agreement, all of which rights, powers and remedies shall be
cumulative and may be exercised successively or concurrently without impairing the Lender's security interest in the Collateral. 

        14.    Waiver.    Any forbearance or failure or delay by the Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy shall not
preclude the further exercise thereof, and every right, power or remedy of the Lender shall continue in full force and effect until such right, power or remedy is specifically waived in a writing
executed by the Lender. Company waives any right to require the Lender to proceed against any person or to exhaust any Collateral or to pursue any remedy in the Lender's power.
