If any amount individually or in the aggregate in excess of $500,000 payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall be evidenced by any Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper, the Grantor acquiring such Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper shall notify the Collateral Agent and, on each date on which financial statements are required to be delivered under Section 5.01(a) or (b) of the Credit Agreement, endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request; provided, that, if any amount individually or in the aggregate in excess of $1,000,000 payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall be evidenced by any Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper, the Grantor acquiring such Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper shall promptly endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall return such Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper to such Grantor from time to time, to the extent necessary for collection in the ordinary course of such Grantor’s business.

In the event any Grantor shall fail to make such payment contemplated in the immediately preceding sentence (except to the extent any Grantor is contesting such Charges and fees in good faith), the Collateral Agent may upon written notice to such Grantor, do so for the account of

SECTION 4.10. Certain Covenants and Provisions Regarding Patent, Trademark and Copyright Collateral.

(a) Each Grantor agrees that it will not, nor will it permit any of its licensees to, do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any Patent owned by such Grantor which is material to the conduct of such Grantor’s business may become invalidated, unenforceable, or dedicated to the public, and agrees that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to ▇▇▇▇ any products covered by a Patent with the relevant patent number as necessary and sufficient to establish and preserve its rights under applicable patent laws; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.10(a) shall prevent such Grantor from discontinuing the prosecution or maintenance of such Patent if, in the reasonable business judgment of such Grantor, such Patent is no longer necessary or desirable in the conduct of its business.

(b) Each Grantor (either itself or through its licensees or its sublicenses) will, for each Trademark material to the conduct of such Grantor’s business, use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) maintain each such registered Trademark in full force free from any claim of abandonment or invalidity for nonuse, (ii) maintain the quality of products and services offered under such Trademark, (iii) display such Trademark with notice of Federal or foreign registration to the extent necessary and sufficient to establish and preserve its rights under applicable law and (iv) not knowingly use or knowingly permit the use of such Trademark in violation of any third party rights; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.10(b) shall prevent such Grantor from discontinuing the use, prosecution, or maintenance of such Trademark, if such discontinuance is, in the reasonable business judgment of such Grantor, no longer necessary or desirable in the conduct of its business; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 4.10(b) shall require providing notice in connection with office actions for pending Patent, Trademark or Copyright applications.

(d) Each Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent upon such Grantor obtaining knowledge of any Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the conduct of its business which may become abandoned, lost, unenforceable, invalidated, or dedicated to the public, or of any materially adverse determination or development including the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office (or any court or similar office of any country) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any Patent, Trademark or Copyright, or its right to register the same, or to keep and maintain the same.

(e) If any Grantor shall at any time after the date hereof (i) obtain any ownership or other rights in and/or to any additional Intellectual Property (including trademark applications for which evidence of the use of such trademarks in interstate commerce has been submitted to and accepted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office pursuant to 15 U.S.C. Section 1060(a) (or a successor provision)) or (ii) become entitled to the benefit of any additional Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property or any renewal or extension thereof, including any reissue, division, continuation, or continuation-in-part of any Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, or any improvement on any Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, the provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto and any such item described in the preceding clause (i) or (ii) (other than any Excluded Property) shall automatically constitute Collateral as if such would have constituted Collateral at the time of execution hereof and such Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property (other than any Excluded Property) shall be subject to the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement without further action by any party. Each Grantor shall on a monthly basis with respect to Copyrights and on a quarterly basis with respect to Patents and Trademarks provide to the Collateral Agent written notice of any of the foregoing Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor which is the subject of a registration or application in the United States and confirm the attachment of the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement to any rights described in clauses (i) and (ii) above by execution and delivery, within ten (10) days of providing such notice or such longer period as may be determined by the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion of the acquisition by such Grantor of such Intellectual Property, of an instrument in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent and the filing of any instruments or statements as shall be reasonably necessary or requested by the Collateral Agent to create, record, preserve, protect or perfect the Collateral Agent’s lien and security interest in such Intellectual Property.

(f) Each Grantor will take all necessary steps in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office, or any office or agency in any political subdivision of the United States or in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, to maintain and pursue each material application relating to the Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights (and to obtain the relevant grant or registration) and to maintain each issued Patent and each registration of the Trademarks or Copyrights owned by such Grantor that is material to the conduct of any Grantor’s business, including timely filings of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and payment of maintenance fees, and, if consistent with commercially reasonable business judgment, to initiate opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings against third parties; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.10(f) shall prevent such Grantor from failing to maintain or pursue any such Trademark or Patent if, in the reasonable business judgment of such Grantor, the likely costs of such maintenance or pursuit are likely to outweigh the likely benefits of such maintenance or pursuit and such failure could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(g) In the event that any Grantor has reason to believe that any Collateral consisting of a material Patent, Trademark or Copyright has been or is about to be infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor promptly shall notify the Collateral Agent and, if within such Grantor’s good faith business judgment, the likely benefits outweigh the likely costs, shall promptly ▇▇▇ for infringement,

misappropriation or dilution and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, and shall take such actions as are deemed by such Grantor in its reasonable business judgment to be reasonably appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Collateral.

(h) For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent, during the continuance of an Event of Default, to exercise rights and remedies under Article V hereof at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive license and, to the extent permitted under Intellectual Property Licenses granting such Grantor rights in Intellectual Property, sublicense (in each case, exercisable without payment of royalties or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property included in the Collateral, wherever the same may be located. Such license shall include access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout hereof, to the extent permitted under license agreements governing use of such computer programs. With respect to Trademarks owned by such Grantor, the license granted hereunder shall be subject to sufficient rights of quality control and inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of such Trademarks.

(i) Unless there shall occur and be continuing any Event of Default, each Grantor shall have the right to commence and prosecute in its own name, as the party in interest, for its own benefit and at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors, such applications for protection of the Intellectual Property and suits, proceedings or other actions to prevent the infringement, misappropriation, counterfeiting, unfair competition, dilution, diminution in value or other damage as are necessary to protect the Intellectual Property. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right but shall in no way be obligated to file applications for protection of the Intellectual Property and/or bring suit in the name of any Grantor, the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties to enforce the Intellectual Property and any license thereunder. In the event of such suit, each Grantor shall, at the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents requested by the Collateral Agent in aid of such enforcement and the Grantors shall promptly reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent for all costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in the exercise of its rights under this Section 4.10(i) in accordance with Section 9.05 of the Credit Agreement. In the event that the Collateral Agent shall elect not to bring suit to enforce the Intellectual Property, each Grantor agrees, at the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, to take all commercially reasonable actions necessary, whether by suit, proceeding or other action, to prevent the infringement, coun terfeiting, unfair competition, dilution, diminution in value of or other damage to any of the Intellectual Property by any Person.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may transfer a full and complete copy of any Grantor’s books, records, credit information, reports, memoranda and all other writings relating to the Receivables to and for the use by any Person that has acquired or is contemplating acquisition of an interest in the Receivables or the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein without the consent of any Grantor; provided, that, the Collateral Agent may transfer such a copy to a Person engaged principally in the

REMEDIES

SECTION 5.01. Remedies upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may from time to time (alternatively, successively or concurrently on any one or more occasions) exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, the following remedies:

(a) Personally, or by agents or attorneys, immediately take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, from any Grantor or any other Person who then has possession of any part thereof with or without notice or process of law, and for that purpose may enter upon any Grantor’s premises where any of the Collateral is located, remove such Collateral, remain present at such premises to receive copies of all communications and remittances relating to the Collateral and use in connection with such removal and possession any and all services, supplies, aids and other facilities of any Grantor;

(b) Demand, ▇▇▇ for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable in respect of the Collateral including, upon any Event of Default under Section 7.01(a) or 7.01(i) of the Credit Agreement, instructing the obligor or obligors on any agreement, instrument or other obligation constituting part of the Collateral to make any payment required by the terms of such agreement, instrument or other obligation directly to the Collateral Agent, and in connection with any of the foregoing, compromise, settle, extend the time for payment and make other modifications with respect thereto; provided, however, that in the event that any such payments are made directly to any Grantor, prior to receipt by any such obligor of such instruction, such Grantor shall segregate all amounts received pursuant thereto in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall promptly (but in no event later than one Business Day after receipt thereof) pay such amounts to the Collateral Agent;

(c) Sell, assign, grant a license to use or otherwise liquidate, or direct any Grantor to sell, assign, grant a license to use or otherwise liquidate and dispose of, any and all investments made in whole or in part with the Collateral or any part thereof, and take possession of the proceeds of any such sale, assignment, license, liquidation or disposition;

(d) Take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, by directing any Grantor in writing to assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent at a place reasonably designated by the Collateral Agent. Each Grantor’s obligation to deliver the Collateral as contemplated in this Section 5.01(d) is of the essence hereof. Upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by any Grantor of such obligation;

-19

(e) Withdraw all moneys, instruments, securities and other property in any bank, financial securities, deposit or other account of any Grantor constituting Collateral for application to the Obligations as provided in Section 5.07 hereof;

(f) Retain and apply the distributions to the Obligations as provided in Section 5.07 hereof;

(g) Exercise any and all rights as beneficial and legal owner of the Collateral, including perfecting assignment of and exercising any and all voting, consensual and other rights and powers with respect to any Collateral;

(h) In the Collateral Agent’s own name, in the name of a nominee of the Collateral Agent, or in the name of any Grantor communicate (by mail, telephone, facsimile or otherwise) with the Account Debtors and other obligors in respect of Receivables of such Grantor and parties to contracts with such Grantor, to verify with such Persons, to the Collateral Agent’s satisfaction, the existence, amount, terms of, and any other matter relating to, Accounts, Chattel Paper, Payment Intangibles, General Intangibles, Instruments and other Receivables that are Collateral; and

(i) Exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC, and the Collateral Agent may also in its sole discretion, without notice except as specified in Section 5.02 hereof, sell, assign or grant a license to use the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable. The Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or any of their respective Affiliates may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee or recipient of the Collateral or any part thereof at any such public sale, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, at any such private sale, and 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, assigned or licensed at such sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations owed to such Person as a credit on account of the purchase price of the Collateral or any part thereof payable by such Person at such sale. Each purchaser, assignee, licensee or recipient at any such sale shall acquire the property sold, assigned or licensed absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by 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. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Collateral or any part thereof 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 hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral or any part thereof may have been sold, assigned or licensed 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.

SECTION 5.02.Notice of Sale. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or other disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof shall be required by law, 10 days’ prior notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition is to take place shall be commercially reasonable notification of such matters. No notification need be given to any Grantor if it has signed, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, a statement renouncing or modifying any right to notification of sale or other intended disposition.

-20

SECTION 5.03. Waiver of Notice and Claims. Each Grantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, notice or judicial hearing in connection with the Collateral Agent’s taking possession or the Collateral Agent’s disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof, including any and all prior notice and hearing for any prejudgment remedy or remedies and any such right which such Grantor would otherwise have under law, and each Grantor hereby further waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (i) except to the extent arising out of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent, all damages occasioned by such taking of possession, (ii) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder and (iii) all rights of redemption, appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable law. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any incorrect or improper payment made pursuant to this Article V in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent. Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity, of the applicable Grantor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against such Grantor and against any and all Persons claiming or attempting to claim the Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through or under such Grantor.

SECTION 5.04. Certain Sales of Collateral

(a) Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in law, rules, regulations or orders of any Governmental Authority, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who meet the requirements of such Governmental Authority. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such restricted sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that, except as may be required by applicable law, the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales.

(b) Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, and applicable state securities laws, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Investment Property, to limit purchasers to Persons who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Investment Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933), and, notwithstanding such circumstances, 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 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 of 1933 or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so.

(c) If the Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Securities Collateral or Investment Property, upon written request, the applicable Grantor shall from time to time furnish to the Collateral Agent all such information as the Collateral Agent may request in order to determine the number of securities included in the Securities Collateral or Investment Property which may be sold by the Collateral Agent as exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.

-21

(d) Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 5.04 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, that the Collateral Agent and the other 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 5.04 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.

SECTION 5.05. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies

(a) No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent to exercise, no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay on the part of the Collateral Agent in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy; nor shall the Collateral Agent be required to look first to, enforce or exhaust any other security, collateral or guaranties. All rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law or otherwise available.

(b) In the event that the Collateral Agent shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power, privilege or remedy under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Collateral Agent, then and in every such case, the Grantors, the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral, and all rights, remedies, privileges and powers of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 5.06. Certain Additional Actions Regarding Intellectual Property. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon the written demand of the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent an assignment or assignments (in a form satisfactory to the Collateral Agent) of such Grantor’s rights in the Intellectual Property, and, with respect to those items of the Intellectual Property Collateral consisting of issued Patents, registered Trademarks and/or registered Copyrights (or applications therefor) owned by such Grantor, such assignment shall be in recordable form satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, and such other documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes hereof.

SECTION 5.07. Application of Proceeds. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, all Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its remedies shall, to the extent available for distribution (it being understood that the Collateral Agent may liquidate investments prior to maturity in order to make a distribution pursuant to this Section 5.07), be distributed (subject to the provisions of Section 5.08) by the Collateral Agent on each Distribution Date in the following order of priority:

First: to the Collateral Agent for any unpaid Collateral Agent Fees;

Second: without duplication of amounts applied pursuant to clause First above, to any other Secured Party which has theretofore advanced or paid any Collateral Agent Fees constituting administrative expenses allowable under Section 503(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, an amount equal to the amount thereof so advanced or paid by such Secured Party and for which such Secured Party has not been reimbursed prior to such Distribution Date, and, if such moneys shall be insufficient to pay such amounts in full, then ratably (without priority of any one over any other)

-22

to such Secured Parties in proportion to the amounts of such Collateral Agent Fees advanced by the respective Secured Parties and remaining unpaid on such Distribution Date;

Third: without duplication of the amounts applied pursuant to clause First and Second above, to any Secured Party which has theretofore advanced or paid any Collateral Agent Fees other than such administrative expenses, an amount equal to the amount thereof so advanced or paid by such Secured Party and for which such Secured Party has not been reimbursed prior to such Distribution Date, and, if such moneys shall be insufficient to pay such amounts in full, then ratably (without priority of any one over any other) to such Secured Parties in proportion to the amounts of such Collateral Agent Fees advanced by the respective Secured Parties and remaining unpaid on such Distribution Date;

Fourth: without duplication of the amounts applied pursuant to clauses First, Second and Third above, subject to the provisions of Section 2.11 of the Credit Agreement, to the Secured Parties, in an amount equal to all Obligations, whether or not then due and payable, and, if such moneys shall be insufficient to pay such amounts in full, then ratably (without priority of any one over any other) to such Secured Parties in proportion to the unpaid amounts thereof on such Distribution Date; and

Fifth, without duplication of the amounts applied pursuant to clauses First, Second, Third and Fourth above, any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the Grantors or their successors or assigns or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

In the event that any such proceeds are insufficient to pay in full the items described in clauses First through Fourth of this Section 5.07, the Grantors shall remain liable for any deficiency.

The term “unpaid” as used in this Section 5.07 refers:

(a) in the absence of a bankruptcy proceeding with respect to the relevant Grantor(s), to all amounts of the relevant Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations not due and payable) outstanding as of a Distribution Date, and

(b) during the pendency of a bankruptcy proceeding with respect to the relevant Grantor(s), to all amounts allowed by the bankruptcy court in respect of the relevant Obligations as a basis for distribution (including estimated amounts, if any, allowed in respect of contingent claims), to the extent that prior distributions have not been made in respect thereof.

SECTION 5.08.Collateral Agent’s Calculations. In making the determinations and allocations required by Section 5.07, the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely upon information supplied by the Administrative Agent as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to any Obligations, and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on such information; provided that nothing in this sentence shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any information so supplied. In addition, for purposes of making the allocations required by Section 5.07 with respect to any amount that is denominated in any currency other than Dollars, the Collateral Agent shall, on the applicable Distribution Date, convert such amount into an amount of Dollars based upon the relevant Spot Selling Rate. All distributions made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 5.07 shall be (subject to any decree of any court of competent jurisdiction) final (absent manifest error), and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by the Administrative Agent of any amounts distributed to it for distribution to any Lenders.

The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder and of the other Secured Parties under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.

Each party to this Agreement agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against any Grantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.15 of the Credit Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 7.11. Termination.

(a) This Agreement and the Security Interests (i) shall automatically terminate when (a) all the Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations not due and payable) have been paid in full and (b) the Lenders have no further commitment to lend under the Credit Agreement (at which time the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to the Grantors, at the Grantors’ expense, all UCC termination statements and other documents which the Grantors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination) and (ii) shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment in respect of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Secured Party upon any bankruptcy or reorganization of any Grantor or otherwise. Any execution and delivery of termination statements or documents pursuant to this Section 7.11(a) shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent. A Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the Security Interests in the Collateral of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released in the event that the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of pursuant to a transaction permitted under the Credit Agreement to a Person that is not an Affiliate of Borrower such that such Person is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary of Borrower.

(b) Upon any sale or other transfer by any Grantor of any Collateral to a Person that is not a Loan Party that is permitted under the Credit Agreement or, upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interests granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to Section 9.08 of the Credit Agreement, security interests in such Collateral shall be automatically released. In connection with such release, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to any Grantor, at such Grantor’s expense, all UCC termination statements and other documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such release. Any execution and delivery of UCC termination statements and similar documents pursuant to this Section 7.11(b) shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 7.12. Additional Grantors. To the extent any Subsidiary shall be required to become a Grantor pursuant to any Loan Document, upon execution and delivery by the Collateral Agent and such Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of Annex I hereto, such Subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. Each such Subsidiary shall at such time deliver to the Collateral Agent a completed Perfection Certificate. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.

SECTION 7.13. Financing Statements. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction (a) any filing with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office (or any successor office or any similar office in any other country), (b) any initial financing statements (including fixture filings) and amendments thereto that contain the information required by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or amendment relating to the Collateral, including (i) whether such Grantor is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to such Grantor, (ii) any financing or continuation statements or other documents without the signature of such Grantor where permitted by law, and such financing statements may contain an indication or description of Collateral that describes such property (x) in the same manner as described in this Agreement or (z) in any other manner as the Collateral Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent in connection herewith, including, without limitation, describing such property as “all personal property of the debtor now owned or hereafter acquired” (or using words of similar import) and (iii) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing or covering Collateral constituting minerals or the like to be extracted or timber to be cut, a sufficient description of the real property to which such Collateral relates, and (c) any other documents for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the Security Interests granted by each Grantor without the signature of any Grantor. Each Grantor agrees to provide all information described in the immediately preceding sentence to the Collateral Agent promptly upon written request. Each Grantor hereby ratifies its authorization for the Collateral Agent to file in any relevant jurisdiction any financing statements relating to the Collateral if filed prior to the date hereof.

SECTION 7.14. Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent the attorney-in-fact of such Grantor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with full power of substitution either in the Collateral Agent’s name or in the name of such Grantor, (a) to receive, endorse, assign or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any part thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral; (c) to ask for, demand, ▇▇▇ for, collect, receive and give acquit-

-29

tance for any and all moneys due or to become due under and by virtue of any Collateral; (d) to sign the name of any Grantor on any invoice or ▇▇▇▇ of lading relating to any of the Collateral; (e) to send verifications of Accounts to any Account Debtor; (f) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or any of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral; (g) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral; (h) with at least 2 days’ prior notice to the Grantor to notify, or to require any Grantor to notify Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Collateral Agent; and (i) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Collateral Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them herein, and neither they nor their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

SECTION 7.15. INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT GOVERNS. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, THE LIEN AND SECURITY INTEREST GRANTED TO THE COLLATERAL AGENT, FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE SECURED PARTIES, PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY BY THE COLLATERAL AGENT AND THE OTHER SECURED PARTIES HEREUNDER ARE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT OR INCONSISTENCY BETWEEN THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN AND CONTROL.

SECTION 7.16. Delivery of Collateral. Prior to the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations, to the extent any Grantor is required hereunder to deliver Current Asset Collateral to the Collateral Agent for purposes of possession and control and is unable to do so as a result of having previously delivered such Collateral to any of the Revolving Credit Facility Agents in accordance with the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility Security Documents, such Grantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such delivery shall be deemed satisfied by the delivery to such Revolving Credit Facility Agents, acting as a gratuitous bailee and/or sub-agent of the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

SECTION 7.17. Mortgages. In the case of a conflict between this Agreement and the Mortgages with respect to Collateral that is real property (including Fixtures), the Mortgages shall govern. In all other conflicts between this Agreement and the Mortgages, this Agreement shall govern.

SECTION 7.18. Conflicts. In the case of any conflict between this Agreement and the Credit Agreement, the provisions of the Credit Agreement shall govern.
