8.2 Duties of the Collateral Agent.

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Collateral Agent has received written notice thereof from a Grantor or the Trustee, the Collateral Agent may exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by the Indenture, this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents. The permissive right of the Collateral Agent to take or refrain from taking any actions enumerated in the Indenture, this Agreement or any other Collateral Document shall not be construed as a duty and the Collateral Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties of any kind or nature to any Secured Party, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred or is occurring;

Whenever in the administration of the Indenture, this Agreement or any Collateral Document the Collateral Agent shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Collateral Agent (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officers’ Certificate. In no event shall the Collateral Agent be liable under or in connection with the Indenture, this Agreement or other Collateral Documents for indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever, including but not limited to lost profits, whether or not foreseeable, even if the Collateral Agent has been advised of the possibility thereof and regardless of the form of action in which such damages are sought.

(d) Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Indenture, this Agreement or any other Collateral Document, any demand, request, direction or notice from any Grantor shall be sufficient if evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate.

(e) The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by the Indenture, this Agreement or any other Collateral Document at the request or direction of any of the Secured Parties unless such Secured Parties shall have offered to the Collateral Agent security and indemnity satisfactory to the Collateral Agent against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

(g) The rights, privileges, protections and benefits given to the Collateral Agent, including, without limitation, its rights to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Collateral Agent in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Persons employed to act hereunder or under any Collateral Document.

(h) The Collateral Agent may request that the Grantors deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to the Indenture, this Agreement or any other Collateral Document, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

(i) In connection with exercising any right or discretionary duty hereunder or under any of the Collateral Documents, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities. The Collateral Agent shall not have any liability for taking any action at the direction of such party, or for any failure or delay of any such party to provide timely direction to the Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) any such direction may not conflict with any rule of law or with this Agreement and (ii) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that it determines might involve it in liability (unless the Collateral Agent has received satisfactory indemnity or security against such liability).

(j) The Collateral Agent shall enjoy all the same rights, protections, immunities and indemnities granted to it and to the Trustee under the Indenture as though set forth in full herein (with any references to the Trustee therein being deemed to refer to the Collateral Agent). In performing its functions and duties solely under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall act solely as the agent of the Secured Parties and does not assume, nor shall be deemed to have assumed, any obligation or relationship of trust with or for the Secured Parties.

(k) The Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

8.4 Individual Rights of Collateral Agent.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Collateral Agent in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Secured Obligations and may otherwise deal with any Grantor or any Affiliate of any Grantor with the same rights it would have if it were not the Collateral Agent.

8.5 Collateral Agent’s Disclaimer.

The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Agreement or any other Collateral Document, or the existence, genuineness, value or protection of any Collateral (except for the safe custody of Collateral in its possession and the accounting for proceeds of Collateral actually received by it in accordance with the terms hereof), the legality, effectiveness or sufficiency of any Collateral Document, or the creation, perfection, priority, sufficiency or protection of any Lien on any Collateral, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital in this Agreement or any other Collateral Document.

(a) Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its affiliates, directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith (i) with the consent or at the request or direction of a Secured Party as provided herein or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its affiliates, directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the Grantors; (iii) the receipt of items required to be delivered to the Collateral Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, the other Collateral Documents or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection herewith.

The Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Collateral Document or any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith in accordance with a written direction or a request of the Grantors or Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or other Collateral Document.

SECTION 9. REMEDIES.

9.1 Generally. Subject to the provisions of the Indenture:

(a) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it at law or in equity, all the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) to collect, enforce or satisfy any Secured Obligations then owing, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and also may pursue any of the following separately, successively or simultaneously:

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

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

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

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

(v) exercise voting and other consensual rights with respect to the Investment Related Property.

(b) The Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any public or private (to the extent the portion of the Collateral being privately sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC and the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each

Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days notice (or such lesser time as commercially reasonable) to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, Grantors shall be liable for the deficiency and the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent, that the Collateral Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities. Nothing in this Section shall in any way limit the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder.

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

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

9.2 Application of Proceeds. All proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral (less all the costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent in respect of such sale or collection) shall be applied in accordance with Section 6.10 of the Indenture.

9.3 [Reserved].

9.4 Investment Related Property. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Indenture, each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Investment Related Property conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Investment Related Property under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Investment Related Property for their own account, for investment and not

with a view to the distribution or resale thereof (such sale, a “private sale” for purposes of this Section). Each Grantor acknowledges that such private sale may be viewed as a “public sale” for purposes of the UCC. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a “public sale” for purposes of the Securities Act without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, each Grantor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Investment Related Property for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If the Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Investment Related Property, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer of any Pledged Stock to be sold hereunder, each partnership and each limited liability company from time to time to furnish to the Collateral Agent all such information as the Collateral Agent may request in order to determine the number and nature of interest, shares or other instruments included in the Investment Related Property which may be sold by the Collateral Agent in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.

9.5 Intellectual Property License

Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Indenture, the Company (individually and on behalf of each of the Grantors) hereby grants to the Collateral Agent a non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual (until terminated in accordance with this Agreement), world-wide, royalty-free license (which shall include without limitation the right to grant sublicenses) to use and exploit the Grantor’s Intellectual Property in any manner whatsoever, including without limitation the right to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and export products and services incorporating such Intellectual Property for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent, during the continuance of an Event of Default, to exercise rights and remedies under Section 9 hereof at such time, as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies. The license granted hereunder shall be subject to pre-existing licenses granted by the Grantors to other persons, and, with respect to Trademarks, in the event the license set forth in this Section is exercised with regard to any Trademarks, then the licensed Trademarks shall only be used in association with goods or services of a quality and nature consistent with the quality and reputation with which such Trademarks were associated when used by Grantors prior to the exercise of the license rights set forth herein.

9.6 Intellectual Property

Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Indenture:

(a) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided herein, upon the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

(i) the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation), upon notice to the applicable Grantor, to bring suit or otherwise commence any action or proceeding in the name of any Grantor, the Collateral Agent or otherwise, in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion, to enforce any Intellectual Property rights of such Grantor included in the Collateral, in which event such Grantor shall, at the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents required by the Collateral Agent in aid of such enforcement, and such Grantor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify the

Collateral Agent as provided in Section 12 hereof in connection with the exercise of its rights under this Section 9.6, and, to the extent that the Collateral Agent shall elect not to bring suit to enforce any Intellectual Property rights as provided in this Section 9.6, each Grantor agrees to use all commercially reasonable measures, whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation of any of such Grantor’s rights in the Intellectual Property included in the Collateral by others and for that purpose agrees to diligently maintain any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing, misappropriating, diluting or otherwise violating as shall be necessary to prevent such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation;

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

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

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

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

(1)

all amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by Grantor in respect of amounts due to such Grantor in respect of the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and applied as provided by Section 9.7 hereof; and

(2)

Grantor shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such amount or release wholly or partly any obligor with respect thereto or allow any credit or discount thereon.

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

9.7 Cash Proceeds; Deposit Account and Controlled Accounts.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Indenture: (a) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in addition to the rights of the Collateral Agent specified in Section 6.5 with respect to payments of Receivables, all proceeds of any Collateral received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items (collectively, “Cash Proceeds”) shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required) and held by the Collateral Agent in an account set up for that purpose. If any Event of Default should have occurred and be continuing, any Cash Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent (whether from a Grantor or otherwise) may, in the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, be applied by the Collateral Agent (after payment of costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in the collection of such Cash Proceeds) against the Secured Obligations then due and owing in accordance with Section 6.10 of the Indenture.

(b) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may, in the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, apply (after payment of costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in the collection of such Cash Proceeds) the balance from any Deposit Account or Investment Account against the Secured Obligations then due and owing in accordance with Section 6.10 of the Indenture.

(c) Following the application of any proceeds held by the Collateral Agent in accordance with this Section 9.7 and the termination, cure or waiver of all existing Events of Default in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents, any excess proceeds then held by the Collateral Agent in accordance with this Section 9.7 shall, at the request of the Company, be returned to the applicable Deposit Account.

SECTION 10. COLLATERAL AGENT.

The Collateral Agent has been appointed to act as Collateral Agent hereunder by the Securityholders. The Collateral Agent shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement and the Indenture. In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Section 10, each Securityholder, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such

Secured Party that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Section. The provisions of the Indenture relating to the Collateral Agent including, without limitation, the provisions relating to resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent and the powers and duties and immunities of the Collateral Agent are incorporated herein by this reference and shall survive any termination of the Indenture.

SECTION 11. CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF NOTES.

This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than contingent obligations not yet due and payable), be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns, and inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the terms of the Indenture, any Securityholder may assign or otherwise transfer any Notes held by it to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to Securityholders herein or otherwise. Upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than contingent obligations not yet due and payable), the security interest granted hereby shall automatically terminate hereunder and of record and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors. Upon any such termination the Collateral Agent shall, at the Grantors’ expense, execute and deliver to the Grantors or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as the Grantors shall reasonably request, including financing statement amendments to evidence such termination. Upon any disposition of property permitted by the Indenture, the Liens granted herein and/or under the other Collateral Documents shall be deemed to be automatically released and such property shall automatically revert to the applicable Grantor with no further action on the part of any Person.

SECTION 12. [RESERVED].

SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS.

Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in accordance with Section 12.02 of the Indenture. No failure or delay on the part of the Collateral Agent in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under the Indenture shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or Obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Grantors and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Grantor shall assign any right, duty or obligation hereunder except as permitted by the Indenture. This Agreement, the Indenture, the Securities and the other Collateral Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between the Grantors and the Collateral Agent and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject

matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, the Collateral Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by telecopy or electronic transmission, including by .pdf or similar file) and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document.

SECTION 14. CONFLICTS.
